Gary Sykes v. Kevin O'Hara - SKY Friday Fight Night
Syked Up!!
25 May 2010 - By Leonard Gunning
Surely every new champion deserves an easy first defence, right? Against someone who lets say has lost every title fight they have contested but preferably still has a respectable enough record to ensure the punters will rock up, right?
Maybe that is what newly crowned British super bantamweight Gary Sykes 15-0 (KO 4) had in mind when his team invited Belfast’s Kevin ‘Sweet Pea’ O’Hara 17-5 (KO 5) to step through the ropes with the Dewsbury dynamo to battle it out for his first defence of the coveted Lonsdale belt at the Huddersfield Leisure Centre this Friday.
With the bookies having the Yorkshireman, who recently wrestled the vacant title away from Andy Morris in a twelve round thriller at the same venue in March, a 1/4 odds on favourite and the ominous sign of Team Sykes talking up the credentials of O’Hara it seems like an open and shut case not worth even a preview article.
But Team Sykes hadn’t counted on.........................

Think Sykes takes it tough guy Skyes but I think he is domestic and will always be in close fights with his style, would love to see the local derby after this Johannasen v Sykes that would be brutal, I also think Morris deserves a rematch.

Did Skel or anyone else see the Max Maxwell fight? What a KO!

Actually, the card has been very entertaining with full of good fights with action back and forth. I've not been able to see Lucas-Andrade though but found a working stream for Sykes-O'Hara with all the other fights on the card, quite good and as you said, the Maxwell K.O was quite a solid one with a right hand straight on the button. DIdn't expect so much action on that card actually.

Friday Fight Night is normally pretty good. Some good scraps on it usually.
