Fight 1

Dave Allen v David Howe

19.6. 4x3. 18.9

Heavyweight

Both fighters seemed to just feel each other out for the first part of the first round, Allen took control in the second part to win the round. In the second Allen banged in some decent shots but did seem like he was holding back. Round three saw Allen pick up the pace but still looked like he was holding back, Howe just wanted to hold when Allen came in on a attack. The final round saw Allen rough Howe up and started putting some pressure on, Howe touched down near the end of the round from the first proper shot Allen through, Howe didn’t make an effort to get up and the ref stopped the fight.

Result

Allen wins 4th round stoppage

Fight 2

Shaka Thompson v Martin Kabrhel

11.2. 4x3. 11.9

Super Middleweight

Outstanding first round by Thompson, great combinations, shot selection and movement, credit to Kabrhel for staying in there and seeing out the round. The second was another clinical one with Thompson knocking his opponents gum shield out at the start of the round. Thompson in his south paw stance controlled the round and landed some eye catching uppercuts.Thompson dominated the third, smashing in heavy shots at will, how Kabrhel stayed in there is a miracle. At the start of the final round the ref had the doctor look at a lump that had appeared on Kabrhel's fore head. The doctor let him continue and Thompson continued his domination of the fight and some how Kabrhel got to hear the final bell.

Result

Dexter – 4O-36

Ref – 40-36

Thompson wins on points

Nice fast start by Ball with some nice tidy boxing with some sharp fast combinations. The second saw some class shots from Ball, Atonik had a go back in this round but Balls workfare was just to much. In the third Ball really started to bang the shots home as blood poured from Atonik's nose, fantastic work rate by Ball again. Ball banged in some heavy shots in the final round, Atonik battled well to see the final bell, but Ball had won fight with great movement, combinations and shot selections.
