MW - Fred Morris (16-0)(11) KO9 Ed Binney (14-3)(14)

Binney gave his all but always playing catch up with the smooth Morris.

World Bantamweight Title

George Dixon (31-3)(14)(Holder) V Johnny Murphy (22-3-1)(18)(#1 Ranked)

This will be the fourth defence of his crown by Dixon.

This is the third fight between the pair, with Dixon winning both. Murphy challenged Dixon in October of last year and found himself on the wrong end of a beating.

Both fighters look in excellent shape as they enter the ring.

The bookies make Dixon a 6/4 favourite.

Round 1 - Dixon draws Murphy in and lands a heavy combination, he counterpunches well and then spoils all his good work by headbutting Murphy whilst in a clinch. He is docked a point. (Even 9-9)

Round 2 - Great work from Dixon. He ships a right hand early in the round but then dominates. He lands a handful of crushing right hands, already Murphy must have the last fight on his mind. (Dixon 19-18)

Round 3 - Dixon again, he is landing far too much leather through the poor defence's of Murphy. (Dixon 29-27)

Round 4 - Dixon lands two crushing right crosses to the jaw of Murphy, who has no answers at present. (Dixon 39-36)

Round 5 - In one of the most ferocious displays seen in a World Title bout Canada's George Dixon holds onto his crown. Halfway through the round he explodes into action, landing a vicious right cross, followed by two crushing uppercut's and a hammering right cross to the body. With Murphy stumbling around the ring, Dixon swings a wild right hand which lands flush on Murphy's jaw, fight over.

Dixon (below) retains his title.
