Oakey's jabs and hooks are getting through too often now, but Spartacus looks tirred but resilient. Overhand right from Oakey, then two good jabs. Good left hook from Oakey.

If Oakey doens't get KOd, then it would be the biggest travesty for Spartacus to win. Spartacus with a decent straight right.

Two body shots from Oakey, and Spartacus is not standing and taking it any more. Spartacus with two hooks up top, but Oakey return with four shots before going to the body.

Oakey's jabs and hook lands again, but Spartacus grits his teeth, then lands a dig to the body. Spartacus digs in two body shots, but Oakey bangs out a right hook then a jab at the bell. Fantastic round of entertainment, if not technically brilliant.

CC for turning up pretty much wrecked bro....I imagine that is what it's like when I post pretty drunk.

Oakey says: "I am a good boxer when I put my mind to it. Fair play to sSteve he was a very tough, fit guy and he stayed there for much longer than I though he would. I'm delighted, and I am really elated."

Frank Maloney also confirmed that Oakey's next fight would be taking place in his home town of Portsmouth against Brian Magee, and Oakey deserves the plaudits he gets after that performance, cause he didn't stop for 12 rounds.

Waita mintiue Oaklye won... >:mad

YOu just dsi f 12 rouidn KO FOR Spoactucus.... ???

Damn@@ I neebd ot go hom ena nd restyy... :-\

After some cunning modifying of the mistakes on my previous post, I can asusre you that my original result of 12 round KO for Oakey was correct ;)

First on the uundercard is Micky Steeds returning against John Anthony, after his defeat in his challenge for the british heavyweight title. Anthony is throwing some big shots in the second, with three wild hooks, then a big right puts Steeds on his arse. A possible challenge for the British cruiserweight title seems a long way away for Steeds after round two.

Good work as always Rhun, have a CC ;)

John Anthony is a fighter that doesn't seem to bother with a jab, but jut comes forward windmilling his arms with massive power shots. Steeds recovering with a better boxing game, avoiding the big shots, and throwing jabs and hooks to the body. Anthony swings a right so hard that his fist carries him all the way to the canvas, no knockdown, just too much momentum. When you consider that Steeds came from the illegal street fighting circuit, you don't expect Steeds to fight like the classy boxer of the pair, but he is.

Steeds is picking off his opponent, and looks much more a natural at cruiserweight. John Anthony rocked y a hard left to the body. Anthony looksa four-round fighter, as Steeds comes forward with much more work. His guard, though basic, is blocking everything that Anthony has to throw. Good right and left hooks from Steeds. Steeds having a hard return to the game after his defeat against Gammer, going into the last. Anthony comes out with a ums rush. Swinging wildly and not landing anything. Body shot and left DO land from Steeds. Anthony cowers on the ropes as Steeds comes forward. Anthony does look like a fighter into his fifth fight of the year, but whenever he comes forward, Steeds looks to have enough to get past Anthony. Steeds deserves the victory, after coming up off the floor.

Last fight of the evening screened was Peter Haymer v Paul David, and with Haymer coming off a 2 round defeat against Ovill McKenzie, he needed the victory to put his career back on track. Unfortunately for him, David looked a very good, but awkward fighter, and was deserving of the victory over the former English and Commonwealth champion Haymer. Haymer didn't manage to land often enough, and spent way too long trying to set it up, instead of actually throwing the punches.

For me, that's goodnight, and I'll hope to see you soon enough, I think my next one will be Skelton v Sprott next Saturday night. Remember to choon in ;)

Good work mate ;)
