[Gnome]

They've a great scene in Belfast at the moment.

Favouring McCullough in this one.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Sean McComb wasted no time in tearing through Miroslav Serban, scoring a 1st round knockout in his second straight appearance at Ulster Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

A swarm of punches ended their brief affair at 1:24 of round one in their ESPN+-streamed contest Friday evening.

McComb (7-0, 4KOs) went the full six rounds in his previous appearance at this very venue less than two months ago. The unbeaten super lightweight southpaw charged into Friday’s affair as if he were double parked, immediately pouncing on Czech Republic’s Serban (11-3, 6KOs) from the opening bell.

A body shot briefly froze Serban, who was backed into a corner as McComb went on the attack with knockout all the way on his mind.

A knockdown wouldn’t come of the sequence, but the relentless and unanswered flurry was enough to prompt referee interevention.
Serban suffers the first stoppage loss of his career.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Another knockout ending came in the livestream opener. The feat marked the first of its kind for Steven Donnelly, who had been extended the distance in his first four pro bouts.

The fifth fight of his young career finally produced the first stoppage of his career. A perfectly placed left hook to the body put Nicaraguan journeyman Edwin Palacios for the full ten count in the 4th round of their middleweight scrap.

Donnelly scored the bout’s lone knockdown, a left hook to the body which doubled over Palacios to end the fight at 1:18 of round four.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Earlier in the evening prior to the start of ESPN+ coverage, Belfast’s own Lewis Crocker advanced to 8-0 (6KOs) following a six-round decision win over London’s Jumanne Camero in their over-the-limit welterweight affair.

Referee Hugh Russell Jr. was the lone scorer of the non-title fight, scoring 60-55 in favor of Crocker, who methodically outboxed Camero as thoroughly as reflected in the final tally.

[IrishGuy]

Just turned it on, how do you's have it?

[NoScoutingReports]

BOOM! Nice right hand.

[IrishGuy]

Dang. Think deco fights to jerky and unconvential that he's liable to take those shots, was a perfect right hand.

[Gnome]

That's a huge knockout. McCullough was getting outboxed at stages and Geraghty looked confident but what a finish.

[Colmohara]

Geraghty will retire now.

[JamieM]

Deco has had so many chances its mad. Mtk have secured title fights off of 4 rounders. There job I guess. Hope he retires now as would hate to see him get hurt. Hes not at that level.

[Ruthless-RKO]

Gomera looks like a kid

[Ruthless-RKO]

How much ya reckon Burnett being paid for this?

[Ruthless-RKO]

Ha. That ring girl knows she got an ass on her. Shaking it.

[Gnome]

All done. Thoroughly enjoyed the event.

[TheLeprechaun]

Deco has had so many chances its mad. Mtk have secured title fights off of 4 rounders. There job I guess. Hope he retires now as would hate to see him get hurt. Hes not at that level.

He makes poor mistakes consistently. Never really developed that much as a pro. Solid pros like tennyson and jono always beat him but I thought he might be able to get past McCullough. I usually bet against fighters who train in the mtk gym in Spain and its quite profitable.

[Delta Jay]

Most important thing here is Ryan looked sharp and switched on. Bouncing round on his toes every second of every round, injury looks completely healed. Should go straight back to world titles no question.

Tete fight has appeal. There’s a lot of good fights to make at bantam now, I’ve really got my fingers crossed we see them.

[brilo33]

I. Think Ryan looked good . I think he brought gomera on too him in corner to take shoots . To see if his body was still up for it. But Ryan shots were still fantastic such a class offensive puncher. And his feet they bring him in an out off range .hope he gets back to were he was
