Davies shines on Queensberry promotions show
Telford’s Liam Davies (25) took his unbeaten record to 10 – 0 on the Queensberry promotions show at the Arena Birmingham (28,8,21). The English champ was doing an eight rounder on the show against the highly experienced Raymond Commey from Ghana. Commey (34) had a decent record of 19 wins 1 draw and 11 defeats after making his debut in December of 2019. Davies was looking to be defending his English title on this show and was looking to impress in this eight rounder in front of 600 plus of his fans that had made the journey to Birmingham. Davies weighed in 8 stone 12 with Commey coming in 8 stone 11 with Shaun Messer refereeing the fight.
Good start by Davies as he boxed well behind his jab in the first round getting some eye-catching uppercuts off. Commey had a go at the start of the second but Davies stuck behind his jab which everything came off. Davies then ended the contest with a cracking right hand which rocked Commey to his boots, Commey went down and did manage to get to his feet, but ref Shaun Messer stopped the fight 2 minutes 52 seconds into the second round.
Dexter’s Thought’s
What a great display by the English champ in front of his adoring fans as he moves on to 10 without defeat. Davies was looking to defend his title tonight but they couldn’t seem to find an opponent willing to take him on. Commey was supposed to be a very durable opponent and had experience and a positive record but Davies beat him with ease to make a statement to all the Bantamweights out there. Davies is a very exciting fighter and has a massive following and if he continues in this form he should be fighting for the British, Commonwealth or European titles this year. I look forward to seeing this exciting fighter back out very soon.
