Well, according to boxrec, he got stopped in two rounds by Mickey Coveney, a stocky southpaw from the Smoke who can be dangerous and has been in with some excellent men. I didn't see the fight so I cannot tell you whether Ward lost on cuts, etc, but Martin's unbeaten record is gone.

It was a horrible KO but there was also a big on the night weight difference which Ward's team accepted after he missed the previous day's weigh-in

Hardly the model pro,as i think he was at the cinema,at the 6pn weigh in time!

Ward had been sparring with Jason Booth in the run up to both of their fights.

According to Jason, Ward gave him a lot of trouble.

Ward came in at 130lb and his opponent 142lb.. At this weight class that's a huge difference. What was he thinking taking the fight?

I know weight aint everything but almost a stone difference is too much at this level.

If Ward had weighed in the day before like Coveney there wouldn't have been such a discrepancy. It meant he had to be 9-3 or 9-4 on the day, while Coveney could eat what he wanted from friday afternoon
