Sorry guys. Thread a little late than usual.

Is anyone of the thought that Jack Massey’s odds for this one, are quite big? You can also get Riakporhe at 5/1 points.

Full Results - From BrItish Boxing News

FRANKLIN IGNATIUS v HRVOJE BOZINOVIC

Debutant Franklin Ignatius (1-0) kicked off the show and his pro career with a four round points win over Croatian Hrvoje Bozinovic (2-22).

DONTE DIXON v VLADISLAVS DAVIDAITIS

Good display from 19-year-old Dixon (2-0), landing with a mixture of punches with devastating effect.

The Yorkshireman's aggression and spite proved too much for Latvian Davidaitis (4-13) as he crashed to the canvas twice early on in the second round.

It was all over in just a minute into the second stanza as Dixon's dominance and heavy hands paved the way for his first stoppage win in the pro ranks.

The Sheffield boxer, managed by Adam Etches, will enter 2020 at 2-0.

LUTHER CLAY v FREDDY KIWITT

Fight began evenly with Kiwitt showing why he is deemed the heavy puncher between the two fighters.



The quality has come from Clay, both have shown they have good head movement and sharp jabs. Defensively, both fighters have been very sharp exchanging heavy punches from one another.

The turning point was round six where Clay landed a heavy blow to Kiwitt's body.

Most onlookers would agree that Clay had the healthy lead on the scorecards going into round nine, the penultimate round, and he pulled away from his opponent when visibly landing more damage in the exchanges.

A good match-up for the WBO Global welterweight title in what was an entertaining pre-Christmas bout with two talented technicians.

Big shots thrown in the last round and Clay's corner were really happy with how the fight turned out, their reaction tells the story that it was a good performance.

Scores were announced as 97-93 to Clay.

Hyde was giving Riakporhee a hiding before the cut. Massey is good odds here.

KIERON CONWAY v CRAIG O’BRIEN

Tough, spirited, and neither one willing to back down in this fight. It went the distance but only one fighter stood out - Conway.



The height, length and reach of his punches proved decisive in the bout.

Craig O’Brien showed his worth throughout with speed, sharpness and determination as the contest went the distance.

But the more skilled, tough, technically better fighter in Conway showed. Landed the better punches from a fighter who offers a wider range of punches.

97-94 Kieron Conway victory, number 14 from the fighter from Northampton. Record stands 14-1-1.

Quite like Conway, useful jab and potential to improve. Hopefully gets further opportunities in 2020.

CRAIG RICHARDS v CHAD SUGDEN

As round 7 approaches, Richard began going through the gears and punished sugden from head to body. Richards took heavy punches late in the 6th which increased the atmosphere in the crowd.

Still seems the referee will decide the winner as the fight goes into the final round. 7th has the best round in the fight so far. Richards surely a round away from victory against a stubborn sugden.

Both fighters look battered and bruised, sugden brought late drama and what an effort he was giving. Good sequence of shots hitting the inside of Richards body. It hasn’t been comfortable for Richards even though sugden has been on the back foot for all of this fight.

Both eyes swelling up and blood pouring from his nose, sugden showing heart in the final round. He continued to show his efforts but needs a knock down for a potential victory.

A good fight between the pair in this light heavyweight contest. Regardless of the result, sugden will have emerged with pride from the fight especially in the final 8th round.

The judges give the verdict of a draw. Both fighters would be proud of their performances, could a rematch be on the cards?
