VIP Boxing - Leigh Show Report

[Stegsie]

GARY DAVIES - Despite giving 4lb in weight on the night away to former British Champion Andy Bell ,he again shown his power with a impressive first round stoppage win . Gary caught Andy early and the signs were there then when he touched down after a left hook connected , the finish was a overhand right that sent Bell flying to the canvas with no thoughts of getting up.

KARL PLACE – Shown why a lot of boxing plaudits are tipping him as the hottest prospect in the Country. A second round stoppage of Steve Saville was in quicker time than the heavier Frankie Gavin and the lightweight division now know that there is a another serious contender on the way from Manchester . Karl was boxing beautifully in the first hitting and being missed until he hurt Saville and rushed in to cop a left hook that stopped him in his tracks for a few seconds , he quickly regrouped to give out more punishment. He will learn from that and at the start of the 2nd Karl pinned him to the ropes and dropped him with body punches that hurt that much we all knew he was staying down.

RICK GODDING – Moved to 11-0 with a points win over tricky journeyman William Warburton who absorbed a lot of punches and shown a lot of character in making the final bell. It is time for him to step up now and we have accepted a challenge from Curtis Woodhouse for the Master light welterweight title in April .

Good win for Davis was impressed with him, but Bell made every effort to get up last night.
