Harringay Arena, London, England
FW: Ray Famechon 16-0-2 (5) UD 8 Aaron Joshua 12-3 (1)
Very tough fight for the frenchman who just escpaped with a decision due to a knockdown in the 5th that probably won him the fight. Famechon is still #4.
HW: Jack Gardner 6-0 (3) UD 8 Joe Muscato 16-6 (7)
Big step-up handled impressively by Gardner. After four even rounds, Gardner took control, scoring two knockdowns in round 6 and one in round 7 to secure a very nice victory, against Muscato who was #15 going into the fight.
MW: Dave Sands 18-1 (10) UD 8 Negash Ogunkeye 11-10-2 (3)
Sands had a bit of trouble in the first couple of rounds, but had no problem taking control and winning the fight, scoring a knockdown on the way to a near shutout decision. Sands moves up to #5.
FLY: Maurice Sandeyron 12-4-2 UD 8 Taffy Hancock 14-1 (9)
Hancocks first big step-up, and he was in over his head. Sandeyron fought a very clever fight, staying on the outside, scoring with his jab and the occasional combination. Sandeyron who was #7 going into the fight, moves up to #5, while Hancock drops from #3 to #6.
HW: Bruce Woodcock 18-1 (15) UD 8 Wilde Piet 10-7 (8)
Woodcock struggled and was hurt badly in the 3rd, but survived and did most things right later on, scoring a KD in the 7th en route to a clear decision. Woodcock is still #3 behind Muscato and fellow brit Don Cockell who is about step into the ring.
Main Event
HW: Don Cockell 18-0-1 (9) TKO 1 Paul Ball 5-6-1 (4)
Cockell scored a quick knockdown and then went in for the kill, and the referee decided to award the TKO win for Cockell. The brit remains at #2.
