Tuesday Night at the York Hall in Bethnal Green, London, England, Frank Maloney hosted a fight night headlined by Nottingham boxer Jason Booth's defence of the British Super Bantamweight title against Rocky Dean of Thetford.

Both men keep busy as they start this 12 round contest, but their heads come together frequently and by the end of the first round, Booth has already sustained a cut to the forehead.

Dean has a better second round and the crowds cheer ‘Rocky! Rocky! Rocky!’ Sky Sports Statistics reveal that during the second round alone - Booth threw 112 punches with an 18% success rate, as opposed to Dean's 66 punches that had a better success rate of 22%.

Round four sees Booth land a sickening body-punch to Dean's torso. But Dean starts the fifth trying the same tactic and lands some short body-punches. Mid-way through the frame, he backs Booth up on the ropes but Booth retaliates with a lovely right hand to the face followed moments later by another peach of a right and he starts to ‘pick off' Dean.

On Friday night at the Robin Park Arena, Wigan, England Andy Bell faced Lee Haskins in a British Super Flyweight title contest on a Frank Maloney promoted fight night billed as "The Explosive Thin Men!" Bell was making his first defence of the title he won in March against Stoke's Chris Edwards.

Bellie, aka "The Iceman", enters the ring wearing Doncaster colours of red and white alongside trainer Matt Scriven, who is himself a pro boxer. Haskins - fighting out of Chris Sanigar's gym in Bristol - has won 17 of his 19 contests.

Haskins has the more open-style of boxing, leaving the upper part of his body exposed and flicking the straight right up his taller opponent's head. Both men land on the canvas again in a tangled bundling over - but Bell reaches down with both gloves to help his opponent up off the canvas. A messy first round. More...
