Osumanu Akaba was a better boxer than many of the Africans who often come unheralded to challenge for Commonwealth belts, who can be quite crude, but Truscott, despite not really packing much of a punch, worked throughout, and probably deserved to win, despite Akaba giving him problems at times. It was a weird performance from the Ghanaian who seemed to switch off at times, but Truscott did well and deserves a beer or two now this weekend!
As for Chris Burton, his match with Lee Swaby was a right classic, but the unbeaten guy will have bigger and harder hitting challenges in his future, and if the damage he took from Swaby is anything to go by, then he needs to improve his guard a little.
