Sorry VD, I doubt there's a KO coming here. Booth jabbing and Addy needs the KO certainly. Booth jabbing well and staying at range. Booth to the body, then steps back. Good right hand, and Addy misses another hook. Booth warned for pushing his forearm up into Addy in the clinch. Booth with a great flurry of hooks with Addy seemingly guardless. Nice left hook, and Addy missiing again. Addy swings four or five, and each one parried by Booth, who is cruising home now. Good hook from Booth, then backs off. Flicks out the jab, then a right hook, and Addy is chuffed to be heading for the final bell I think. Booth with the jabs, then Addy finally lands two shots to the body. Booth with a left hook, and a jab, then a short flurry of straight shots. Booth to the body, and an uppercut on the bell.

Booth retains.
118-111 on my card.

The scores on the doors for this fight are:

118-110, 117-111, 118-111. All Jason Booth. Good defence for Booth, though got caught towards the end as he showboated a little.

[superheavyrhun]

This next fights look like it's got KO written all over it. Martinez a massive puncher who demolished Dunne in Belfast last year, with Munroe having a 100KO record at this weight, having lost a bout one division higher.

It's fight time next.

[superheavyrhun]

Rendall Munroe...the Leicester binman with a lead fist is coming into the ring looking sharp in a training top and flashy sunglasses. "We Jammin" by Bob Marley is his ringwalk music, and Munroe doesn't seem to be too flustered by anything so far.

Kiko's roundly booed before he even begins the ringwalk, and looks calm enough, chatting with his coach on the way in, and there are some Spanish fans in the crowd cheering him too. Martinez's 22nd birthday today...will it be a celebration or not. They square up as Martinez steps through the ropes.

Next up....I predict fireworks for this one.

[superheavyrhun]

Italian ref in the centre of the ring tonigh, which migth be a culture change from Munroe, who looks in good shape. The Alicante man gets plenty more boos as he's announced to the crowd.

Round 1:

Decent guard from both fighters early on, and Munroe paws out with the jab. Right hand from Munroe, and Martinez lands a right, then two shots to the body. Munroe with a jab, then a good left hook. Martinez comes in and works the body again. Martinez warns for chrgingin in with the head. Left hook from Martinez rocks Munroe, who is landing shots. Body shot and a jab. Munroe's gone further than Dunne. Munroe cagey and pushing out the jab.Jab and hook from Munroe. Good left hook from Martinez, but misses the right hook wildly.

Munroe with the more landing shots, Martinez with the power. I'll givethe Brit the first round.

10-9 Munroe.
