LOW BLOW?
Ancajas torpedoes a
searing left hand into
Conlan’s midsection
➤ been scheduled to run for 10 rounds.
Jono Carroll overwhelmed
Humberto de Santiago, stopping
the Mexican at 2-16 of round three in a
thoroughly engaging slugfest. Some of
Carroll’s body shots were straying low,
and referee Edwards warned him twice.
Cut after a clash of heads, Dubliner Carroll
decided it was time to end the proposed
12-rounder early, and unleashed a
prolonged barrage which saw de Santiago
caught up in the ropes and on the end of
sustained punishment. Edwards stopped
the bout and Carroll took home the vacant
IBF Inter-Continental super-feather belt.
Zolani Tete emphatically demolished
his WBO bantamweight title challenger
Siboniso Gonya in just 11 seconds. The
pair briefly circled before Tete unleashed
a lead right hook from the southpaw
stance that completely obliterated his
fellow South African. Referee Edwards
waved the fight off almost immediately, as
medical staff rushed into the ring. Gonya
lay stricken for an extended period before
he came to his senses and realised his
BATTLE CRY:
Barnes roars as he
attacks Quezada with
a right hook to the body
challenge had ended. Tete is hunting a
unification with Belfast’s Ryan Burnett.
“There can only be one king,” he said.
David Oliver Joyce chalked up another
win when Reynaldo Cajina’s corner
retired him at the end of the third round,
scheduled for six. Joyce was a quality
amateur and looks like he’s shaping up
well as a pro too. Always stalking forward
and moving into punching range, the
Mullingar man had too much firepower
for his Spain-based Nicaraguan opponent.
Hugh Russell Jnr refereed.
Tommy McCarthy enjoyed a hardfought
60-55 victory over Manchesterbased
Cameroonian Blaise Mendouo.
McCarthy took an extended look early on
and used his jab and uppercuts to try to
dampen Mendouo’s spirit. Blaise never
stopped trying, but Belfast’s McCarthy
earned the win on Eamonn Magill’s
scorecard.
Another hapless hopeful failed to
hear the final bell against Belfast’s Lewis
Crocker. Gyula Rozsas was stopped at
1-50 of the first round (set for four) after
Crocker landed a powerful left hook.
Mr Russell Jnr frantically waved it off while
the Hungarian stood statuesque against
the ropes, frozen by Crocker’s power.
Marco McCullough emphatically
halted Tamworth’s Josh Baillie with
a third-round stoppage. Belfast’s
McCullough loosened up early and when
he introduced the big right hand, Baillie
was dropped heavily. Mr Russell Jnr called
the scheduled six-rounder off, 32 seconds
into the third.
Liverpool’s Alex Dickinson won 40-36
against Milen Paunov on John Lowey’s
card. Podgy Paunov was more active
than his rotund frame suggested, and the
Bulgarian was not afraid to throw some
meaty swings at Dickinson.
Lanky Kildare southpaw Gary Cully
opened the show with a 40-35 success
over Birmingham’s Kane Baker. Baker
was cut and decked in the final round,
but hung on to hear Mr Lowey’s verdict.
Monkstown’s Steven Ward put in a
workmanlike six rounds against Poland’s
Przemyslaw Binienda, taking the bout
60-55 for Mr Lowey.
THE VERDICT The jury is still out
on Frampton’s chances to rule again
but, despite their gruelling nature,
10 much-needed rounds are banked.
