There was some great undercard action on Friday night at the Harvey Hadden Sports Complex, Nottingham.
Dale Miles (Alfreton) v Janis Chernouskis (Latvia)
6 Round Welterweight Contest
Miles gets off to a fast start and Chernouskis spends much of his time covering up. Within seconds – the Latvian's face has already reddened from the punches. It’s a nice display of boxing from the Shinfield's fighter who pressures his opponent in the corner mid-way through this first round.
Landing left and right hooks and decent body-shots, Miles dominates. Sky Sports Stats reveal that Miles has thrown 33 punches in the opener as opposed to 6 from Chernouskis. More...

Last night the Harvey Hadden Sports Complex in Nottingham, England, promoter Frank Maloney hosted a fight night headlined by 'Boxing Binman' Rendall Munroe’s fifth defence of his European Super Bantamweight title.
Facing Italy's Simone ‘Boom Boom’ Maludrottu, this could be Munroe's toughest test, but winning this contest may propel him to a much deserved world title fight.
The atmosphere inside the venue was fantastic! Munroe always enjoys big crowd support and last night was no exception as a sea of fluorescent ‘bin-man-style’ tabards greeted him as he entered the ring. More...

On Friday night at the Fenton Manor Sports Complex in Stoke on Trent, England, Hatton Promotions hosted a fightnight which would see Mathew Hatton face South African born Champion Lovemore N’Dou for the first defence of the IBO Welterweight Title which N’Dou won in July this year.
Bearing an impressive 59 fight record with 47 wins and 31 of those being by way of knockout – The Black Panther had faced a number of ‘quality’ opponents. This would be a big step-up for 'Magic' Hatton – a World Title win would propel him ‘out of the shadow’ of brother Ricky.
A packed Fenton Manor gave huge support to Mancunian Hatton but boo’d when Champion N’Dou entered the ring.
It was a close first round, with Hatton keeping busy but missing shots as N’Dou dips low. Both men start to settle in during the second round. N’Dou throws a decent swinging left to the cheek of Hatton – his punches are heavy, thudding blows.
Hatton sustains a cut to the left brow in the final minute of the round. N’Dou throws a right to the head of Hatton who counters with a good right hook (almost an uppercut) which lands on target. More...

Friday night at the Bolton Arena in Bolton, England, Frank Maloney promoted a fight night headlined by three title bouts, billed as ‘War of the Roses’.
Salford boxer Jamie Moore faced Ryan Rhodes of Sheffield for the European light middleweight title, St.Helens boxer Gary Davies made the first defence of his British bantamweight title against Londoner Ian Napa and Stoke‘s Chris Edwards made his second defence of the British flyweight title against Mongolian-born Shinny Bayaar.
Jamie Moore (Salford) v Ryan Rhodes (Sheffield)
12 x 3 European Light Middleweight Title
Reigning European champion Moore starts off busy from the first bell, keeping former two-time British light middleweight champion Rhodes on the back foot. Rhodes - having the shorter reach - just misses his target a few times with sweeping shots.
Moore dominates from centre of ring, while Rhodes struggles to settle in to this first round. The Sheffield man goes for the body of ‘Mooresy’ but Moore looks determined, ploughing through with more punches - landing a hard shot which rocks Rhodes’ head from side to side. More...

On Friday night, at the Seaburn Centre in Sunderland, England, Jason ‘2Smooth’ Booth made his second defence of the British super bantamweight title, which he won in April this year. The event - promoted by Frank Maloney - featured 12 contests.
Jason Booth (Nottingham) v Michael Hunter (Hartlepool)
12 x 3 British Super Bantamweight Title
Hunter takes centre of ring straight away keeping Booth edging around the perimeter, but Booth gets through the middle of Hunter's high guard within seconds.
Hunter tries for the body but Booth lets loose a decent left hook which lands to Hunter's right cheek. Hunter gets busy at the end of the round with uppercuts and hooks to the head. A good right lands but many are hitting the gloves and arms of Booth. More...

Last night at ‘The Venue’ in Dudley, England, PJ Rowson and Errol Johnson of First Team Promotions hosted a fight night which provided action from five bouts.
Martin Gordon (Dudley) v Kristian Laight (Nuneaton)
6 x 2 Welterweight Contest
It was a close contest between these two but Gordon had a good round four - possibly because he thought it was a four-round contest!
He kept going though for the next two rounds to secure the points win 58-57 against experienced Laight.
Gordon improves to 2 wins, 6 losses and 2 draws while Laight drops to 6 wins, 66 losses (3 by KO) and 5 draws. More...

On Friday night at the Velodrome in Manchester, England, Hatton Promotions hosted their first televised fight-night. Billed as ‘Euro Glory’, the fight-card was headlined by the European title clash between Matthew Macklin and Amin Asikainen.
Matthew Macklin (Birmingham) v Amin Asikainen (Finland)
12 x 3 Vacant European Middleweight Contest
It was a very ‘stiff’ Asikainen that came out to face Macklin. Macklin looks focussed - switching between head and body shots - before landing a huge left hook which lands bang-on the face of the Finnish man and he falls back heavily on the canvas in the first round.
Struggling to get up for the count - Asikainen looks unsteady but continues with the fight. Looking dazed - he tries to get away from Macklin but the Brummie goes after him! Seconds later, Asikainen is almost bundled over and it’s a no-knockdown. More...

London's Lenny Daws lost the British light welter title to Motherwell, Scotland's Barry Morrison when they met in 2007 but with both boxers having very similar ‘stats’ - the rematch at York Hall in Bethnal Green on Friday night proved to be another closely matched contest.
It was a good first round with both men targeting the head, but keeping a high guard. Daws continued with the head-shots in the second frame while Morrison throws a few body punches with one straying a bit low in the second half of the round.
Daws lands a right, followed by a left to the head in the closing half minute but Morrison immediately replies with a left to the body. Morrison swings out a left glove but it doesn’t reach it’s target in the closing seconds.
Both men trade punches in the first half minute of round three and Morrison goes for shots to head then body, in sharp contrast to his opponent as Daws hasn’t thrown body shots yet. More...

Last night at the Robin Park Arena in Wigan, England VIP Promotions and vipboxing.tv presented an evening of professional boxing headlined by the vacant British Masters Light-Heavyweight Championship between Liverpool's Carl ‘Dynamite’ Dilks and Sheffield's ‘The Peoples Poet’ - Billy Boyle.
There was big support for both boxers as they came out for this title-clash and it turned out to be a cracker of a contest! Packed full of action - both men kept busy right from the first bell.
Dilks landed heavy, powerful body-shots with regularity and we wondered how Boyle was managing to soak them up! Bouncing off the ropes - Dilks would launch his long reaching left and rights at Boyle's head. It was an ‘even’ round four which sees both men score with shots to head and body. More...

In front of a standing room only crowd on Saturday night at the Pechanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, CA, WBC super middleweight number one contender Andre Ward, 20-0 (13), showed focus and determination by blasting his way to a third round TKO victory over Shelby Pudwill, 22-4-1 (9).
Ward controlled the action from the opening bell, utilizing his superior speed and technical abilities to neutralize Pudwill are every action.
Pudwill was unable to land any effective clean shots on Ward throughout the bout, further demonstrating the Oakland native’s defensive abilities alongside his devastating speed.
By the middle of round three, Ward's dominance was apparent and Pudwill was cut under his left eye by a flurry of shots as he found himself trapped against the ropes. More...

It was a full house last night at the packed Brentwood Centre in Essex, England for the Frank Maloney promoted Fightnight headlined by the eagerly awaited contest between John McDermott and Tyson Fury.
The night was billed as ‘Colossal’ with McDermott defending his English Heavyweight title against younger, less experienced Fury.
The atmosphere inside the Brentwood Centre was fantasti ! And dancing along to his entrance music - ‘Tonight’s gonna be a good night’ - Fury, as usual, was clearly enjoying the attention.
Unlike his opponent - a mean looking ‘Big Bad John’ McDermott - who ‘plodded’ down the stairway to the ring. More...

Last night at the Eston Sports Academy in Middlesbrough, England, Matchroom Sport hosted a fight night which headlined by the much anticipated Commonwealth Featherweight title rematch between Champion John Simpson of Greenock, Scotland and local man Paul Truscott of Middlesbrough.
The fight against Simpson in January was Truscott's only defeat and ended because of a cut to the right eye as a result of a head clash.
Last night's exciting return bout was even bloodier than the first and had the crowd applauding the gritty determination of both boxers all the way through the contest. More...

Friday night, at the Velodrome in Manchester, England, Hatton Promotions hosted a fight night which would prove to be an all-action bill culminating in another war from returning Mancunian, Michael Brodie.
Billed as ‘The Boys Are Back In Town’, the fight card consisted of seven contests. Encircled by the indoor cycling track, the ring looked impressive with its lighting ‘rig’ and plasma screens.
The main and last fight of the night was well worth the wait! After a break of four years, former featherweight champion Michael Brodie made his come-back last night in spectacular style.
Who could forget the Brodie v. Injin Chi WBA title fights in 2003 and 2004? Last night's fight was in true Brodie-style - another bloody war. More...

Last night at the Floral Hall in Southport, England, Steve Wood of VIP Promotions presented a fight night which would feature six thrilling contests.
The venue is sited in a lovely location - right alongside Marine Lake in the coastal town of Southport - in the Northwest of England and was hosting its first boxing event since 1934. Even more surprising is that it was a warm, sunny day - with no rain!
Boxing commenced with a four round light middleweight contest between Chris ‘Johno’ Johnson of Manchester and Geraint Harvey of Pontypridd, Wales. But it was a nightmare for the home-corner as Johnson is on the canvas in the first round. Looking stunned by the knockdown - Johnson digs in to see it out to the end of the round.
The second frame sees the southpaw regain some composure as he throws lefts and rights at the head of the Welshman, but Harvey was motivated and had Johno down in the third frame again. Getting up for the count, the Mancunian looked dazed and referee Mark Lyson called a halt to the contest. More...

Last night, at the Municipal Hall in Colne, Lancashire, England, Steve Wood of VIP Promotions presented a night of professional boxing that featured seven contests.
There was a packed and lively crowd inside the ornate surroundings of the ‘Muni’ and they were treated to some great action.
Before fighting commenced though, the main fighters stood on the canvas and MC Michael Pass led a full one minute applause. Only a few days earlier, three young people from Colne were tragically killed in a car accident. The standing crowd clapped loudly in support of the people of Colne and the trio of friends who had tragically lost their lives.
Results are as follows: More...

In a dramatic, exciting and stunning upset Friday night at the Pachanga Resort and Casino in Temecula, California, veteran lightweight Tyrone Harris, 24-5 (16), scored an 8th TKO victory over the highly touted Marvin Quintero, 16-2 (12).
From the opening bell Harris controlled the action, establishing his stiff jab early in the bout and utilizing his superior boxing abilities to neutralize the young Quintero’s power.
Quintero had success in round three, landing numerous solid straight lefts, however Harris was able to counter effectively, keeping Quintero constantly firing from his heels. More...

Last night, at the Sutton Sports Centre in St. Helens, Merseyside, England, Oliver Harrison promoted a fight-night which would see nine all-action contests.
The headliner would see popular Martin Murray of St. Helens face Ghanaian boxer Thomas Awinbono in an eight round middleweight contest, his first since splitting with Steve Wood of VIP Promotions.
Looking in great physical shape - as ever - confident Murray entered the ring to huge support from the St. Helens fans. Murray dominated from the start, keeping centre of ring, he forced Awinbono to ‘edge’ around the ropes.
Landing some clubbing left punches to the head in the early rounds, Murray looks for the shots. Awinbono manages to land some decent shots of his own as he sneaks the right jab through the middle of Murray's guard.
Round three sees Murray sinking in some punishing body-shots that had his opponent cringing, sucking in air after each blow. It seems as if he can’t possibly take any more of the body-shots but he soaks them up and carries on - albeit tentatively at times. More...
