Aron Canning (Wrexham, Wales) v Darren Snow (Dinnington, Yorkshire)
4 x 3 Cruiserweight Contest
Snow was on one knee almost immediately after boxing commenced. There was an onslaught from Canning and Snow was down again from a body-shot – holding his left side in visible discomfort. Referee Kev Parker counted him out while on the canvas but he was able to get up soon after.
Canning wins by round 1 TKO
Liam Berrisford (Debut)(Meir, Stoke-on-Trent) v Jamie Quinn (Stockport)
4 x 3 Lightweight Contest
Lovely boxing from debutant ‘Bezzer’ – nicely picking shots, although distance was slightly ‘off’ in round one which he seemed to correct for the second round. Facing tough opposition – he landed some nice body-shots and will be one to watch with interest.
Berrisford gets his first pro win, on points, 40-36
Kaash Buttery (Debut)(Burslem) v Fonz Alexander (Newark)
4 x 3 Super-Lightweight Contest
Another ‘keen’ debutant – Buttery looked good and fast as he faced experienced Alexander.
