There was some great support action at the Seaburn Centre in Sunderland, England on the Frank Maloney promotion headlined by Lee Haskins' British super flyweight title defense against Ross Burkinshaw on Friday.

On the undercard, local man Trevor Crewe faced Bulgarian-born Danny Dontchev in a four round welterweight contest. Enjoying big crowd support, Crewe gets straight to work and Dontchev is down inside the opening minute of the first round from a left-right to the head.

Moments later, Crewe lands an uppercut which sees Dontchev's legs wobble. He lands on the canvas but from a bundling over and was not counted.

With just over a minute of the first round remaining, Crewe lands a number of left and right shots which starts with a left hook to the face and finished with a right - bang on the nose of Dontchev - who's head flops backwards and he falls to the canvas. More...

Last night at the Kelvin Hall in Glasgow, Scotland, British Welterweight Champion Kell Brook retained his belt for the first time with a crushing first round stoppage over former titlist Kevin McIntyre and Commonwealth Super Feather kingpin Ricky Burns stopped challenger Yakubu Amidu in the seventh.

30 year old McIntyre had ridden a three bout win streak into the contest including a pair over fellow Scot Kevin Anderson but against the fast handed 22 year old Brook, the Paisley Postman had no answers.

Brook, 18-0 (11), gave the local man a lashing, knocking McIntyre, 26-6 (8), down three times before the bout was stopped before the first round had run it's course.

Coatsbridge southpaw Ricky Burns, 25-2 (6), won his tenth in a row by stopping Ghanaian slugger Yakubu Amidu, 16-2-1 (16), to keep the Commonwealth Super Feather crown.

Ex-British Welter Champ Michael Jennings, 34-1 (16), stayed busy with an eight round points verdict against Jason Rushton, 18-7 (3), while promising light heavy Kenny Anderson, 9-0 (7), stopped veteran Hastings Rasani, 20-38-2 (16), in four.
