Featuring the Commonwealth Middleweight Title

MW - Jack Bonner (19-1-0)(12) KO9 Peter Newton (13-1-0)(13)

Newton arrived at the NSC with a perfect 13-0 record, all by knockout.

By the end of the eighth round you could see why, he had landed some terrible blows to the face of Bonner causing some bad swelling.

The pair went at it again in the ninth. Just as Newton went to land another right hook Bonner caught him with a peach of a right cross. Newton tried to get to his feet but was counted out.

LW - Bobby Dobbs (29-1-0)(15) MD10 Andy Bowen (26-12-0)(21)

Dobbs scrambled past Bowen.

A year ago Dobbs was regarded as near enough unbeatable, McAullife put paid to that theory and now Bowen came within a whisker of pulling of an upset win.

Bowen landed his right hooks with ease, whilst Dobbs failed to dominate with his jab.

Some at ringside thought that Bowen had done enough to gain the points verdict, though he did tire markedly in the last six minutes of the fight.

WW - Abe Hicken (15-2-0)(12) SD10 Andy Watson (15-3-1)(2)

Hicken is on a roll!

After dismantling Tommy West, winning both a European and Commonwealth belt, Hicken won a tight points verdict over the talented but tame Andy Watson.

Hicken, who had alledgedly been enjoying himself after the West victory, was on the front foot throughout and although Watson 'nicked' the last two rounds Hicken had done enough.

Commonwealth Middleweight Title

Ted White (15-1-1)(13) KO10 Billy McCarthy (Holder)(22-4-2)(11)

This bout swung one way then t'other.

White started well and landed the better blows in the first half of the fight.

The bout changed in the eighth stanza when McCarthy landed an uppercut to the temple forcing White to take a knee. The ninth round was all one way traffic with McCarthy landing heavily to the head and body.

It swung White's way again in the tenth. He connected early on with a right cross which floored McCarthy. The Australian veteran struggled to his feet only to ship another right hand from White, the last punch of the bout.

McCarthy is certainly past his best, but the crowd were delighted fro the home man nonetheless.
