4 X 3 Minute Rounds International Super-Bantamweight Contest
Jake Pettitt W pts 40-35 Elvis Guillen

The familiar face of the Spain-based Nicaraguan was drafted in to provide a sixth test for Erith youngster Pettitt, who was finding the target at will in the opening moments with speedy combinations. Guillen, with 67 fights on his clock, was offering minimal return fire and was becoming target practice for the product of the iBox Gym in Bromley, who was impressive in his work. A left hook caught Guillen flush in the third, dropping him to the canvas before Pettitt embarked on open season to the defences of his opponent. Guillen admirably survived the round on sometimes unsteady legs. The one-way traffic – bar the odd wild swing – continued through the fourth to an emphatic conclusion. The Pacman moves to 6-0.

4 X 3 Minute Rounds International Lightweight Contest
Mark Chamberlain W pts 40-34 Sergio Gonzalez

After boxing smartly behind his jab for all of 20 seconds, Da Bomb reverted to type and unleashed a barrage of shots on his well seasoned opponent. Gonzalez was twice felled by left hooks in the opening round and looked on the verge of stoppage, but just about made it to the bell. The second saw more of the same only with Gonzalez staying on his feet and a whole new experience for Chamberlain, who had previously not been extended beyond the first. The relentless assault continued throughout the third and fourth with the remarkable fact being the survival of Gonzalez.

4 X 3 Minute Rounds Welterweight Contest
Mickey Burke jr W pts 40-36 Michael Williams

Making his debut, Burke, commonly known as Ginge, was straight on the case of his Leicestershire opponent, firing in telling jabs and penetrating the high guard put up in front of him. The rounds followed a similar pattern with Burke being on the offensive, but he did soak up a shot or two in the third as Williams countered. All in all an a debut the Burke jr can be more than happy with.

4 X 3 Minute Rounds International Heavyweight Contest
Jonathan Palata W rsc 1.35 R1 Ferenc Zsalek

In the first heavyweight action of the evening, Palata quickly moved to 6-0 after chopping to the body of his Hungarian opponent and ripening him up for a fall, which came soon enough and, when Palata repeated the trick, referee Chaz Coakley deemed that Zsalek should suffer no more.

8 X 3 Minute Rounds Super-Welterweight Contest
Hamza Sheeraz W rsc 1.32 R1 Scott James

Sheeraz nudged closer to double figures by hitting 9-0 with a spectacular demolition of Bicester man James. A brutal knockdown resulted in referee Kieran McCann quickly calling time on events and Sheeraz now appears set for bigger things.

[Ruthless-RKO]

6 X 3 Minute Rounds Welterweight Contest
Florian Marku W KO 2.32 R4 Tommy Broadbent

The Albanian former MMA superstar came charging out like a raging bull from the first bell, launching crude swings in the direction of his opponent from Leeds, who seemed happy to taunt the 3-0 man and his throng of supporters. It was a mad turn of events, with Broadbent sticking out his chin and putting his hands behind his back as Marku attempted to behead him. At times there was more talking than punching going on. The odd thudding shot was landing as Marku not so much stalked but chased down Broadbent, who appeared to be tiring towards the end of the third. A shot to the body ended the defiance of Broadbent in the fourth round. It was boxing, but not as we know it.

6 X 3 Minute Rounds International Super-Middleweight Contest
Willy Hutchinson W pts 60-54 Josip Perkovic

The highly-rated and unbeaten Scot was the dominant force right from the off against the 26-year-old from Split, Croatia. The 20-year-old former amateur world champion was patient in his work and didn’t go gung-ho in attempting to break down the capable Perkovic. Hutchinson was letting fly with devilish digs to the body, an investment designed no doubt to cash in and pay dividends later in the fight. Hutchinson upped the tempo in the third as he hunted down his prey, who was offering little in return. A sustained attack had Perkovic wobbling in the fourth and he subsequently remained in retreat, but saw out the round. The same pattern continued right to the end and Hutchinson clocked up win number nine.

4 X 3 Minute Rounds International Bantamweight Contest
Dennis McCann W pts 40-36 Jerson Larios

The 18-year-old star in the making opted for a slightly more calculated approach then he did on debut in May, but still picked his shots in a spiteful fashion Larios bravely attempted to create the illusion that the punishment he was shipping was having minimal effect and he appeared to dislike the brash bravado of young McCann. There was some stunning shot selection from McCann in the third and he was enjoying his extended time strutting the canvas. The pair exchanged stares at the end of the round and McCann now has a full four under his belt.
