Jock McAvoy, England, Pro Debut vs Isaac Perrins, England, Pro Debut

McAvoy and Perrins are just two of a number of heralded young English fighters making their professional debuts in recent months. We have seen the likes of Khan, Hatton, Hamed, Jackson, Johnson, Benn, Eubank, Mendoza, and Hope all take or prepare to take their shot at glory. McAvoy comes out in an aggressive fashion and uses his jab to establish himself in the first two rounds. A combination puts the big man, Perrins, down in the 3rd round. McAvoy misses with a punch and eats a counter right that puts him down at the end of the 4th round. McAvoy makes it up at the count of nine. Perrins, another fine fighter from the REC, wins the 6th, 11-5. McAvoy has a big 7th, 18-0. McAvoy is doing a good job of using angles and staying away from Perrins power as he wins back to back rounds in the 8th and 9th, 14-0, 14-2. A short, clean left cross puts Perrins down for the second time in the fight. Perrins is able to get to his feet but is unable to defend a beautiful combination that ends the fight here in the 10th round.

Winner: McAvoy
Result: (KO10)
Cards: 87-81, 87-81, 87-83, all three cards in favor of McAvoy
Punch stats: 103-499, 20.6% Perrins - 337-573, 58.8% McAvoy
