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...

Last night at Crowtree Leisure Centre in Sunderland, England, Frank Maloney hosted a fight night which would feature three title fights and one title eliminator.

The event - billed as ‘Fighting on Home Soil’ was headlined by Jamie Moore, Rendall Munroe and Danny Williams. There would also be a British Light Middleweight title eliminator between Sam Webb and Thomas McDonagh, and Tony Jeffries would fight in front of a home-crowd as he took on German boxer Roy Meissner.

With a total of eleven contests, last night would prove to be an exciting-all action evening - not least because it would provide the lead-up for Sky Sports viewers to the Manny Pacquiao vs. Ricky Hatton fight in Las Vegas.

It might not have been the MGM Grand - but the 1600 fans crammed into the Sunderland venue were looking forward to a great night of boxing - and they weren’t disappointed! More...

Martin Gordon (Dudley) vs. Chris Thompson (Leeds)
4 x 2 Welterweight Contest

Despite landing a number of straight lefts and, sometimes - wild swinging left shots - the Dudley man had a tough contest against the taller Thompson and it seemed fair that it ended in a draw. At the end of the bout, the Leeds man asked that the contest be dedicated to his late grandparents. More...
