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...

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.

A smattering of the reflective jackets could be seen around the University Sports Hall as some of Munroeʼs fans had made the trip across to Ireland. Even Rendallʼs father sitting ringside was wearing the same Binman-style tabbard over his suit.

A smiley Trotta - nicknamed ʽPopeyeʼ - was keen to introduce himself to Munroe but ʽ2Toneʼ was keeping focussed in the corner. More...

Last night at Dublin City University in Dublin, Ireland, Frank Maloney put on an impressive fightnight that saw Rendall Munroe sweep away the challenge of Fabrizio Trotta and Olympic hero Darren Sutherland make his pro-debut.

European super bantam champ Munroe of Leicester, England was pressed hard by the Italian in the early rounds and the "Boxing Binman" took a few hard shots until he found his rhythm in the third.

That round saw him take control and punish Trotta with hard-nosed body shots that took the steam out of the challenger. By the fourth Trotta was in difficulty and was pulled out in the fifth after claiming an injured right hand.

Munroe keeps the European title and sees his record to 17-1 (8).

Sutherland looked sharp in his first pro fight, delighting the crowd at his former university by battering Georgi Iliev around the ring before finishing off the Bulgarian in the closing seconds of the first frame. More...
