About to start: David Barnes vs. Glenn McClarnon
12 Rounds, British Welterweight Title

49-45 Barnes after five ... just one step ahead.

How are you knowing these things that are much hidden Grey?

Magic ... I mean allegedly.tv radio. You need Quicktime if you don't have it already.

Barnes won round six easy as well.

David Barnes W12 Glenn McClarnon (118-111)

Easy defense, but McClarnon was game.

Did Barnes stop McLarnon like squire or was it a points job?

Now occuring: Michael Gomez vs. Ben Odamattey
12 Rounds, Vacant WBU Super Featherweight Title

Gomez starting off fast, wins round one clearly.

Gomez wins TKO3 ... easy win.

Easy wins for Barnes and Gomez...now that is a surprise. :(

Both Barnes and Gomez suffered hand injuries in their fights.

Bad news for Barnes that. He's picking up hand injuries every fight.

Thomas McDonagh W6 Craig Lynch

Very boring stuff, McDonagh didn't sound impressive. He won 58-57.

Next fight: Sharmba Mitchell vs. Michael Stewart
12 Rounds, IBF Interim Light Welterweight Title

Stewart started off well, but Mitchell dominated round two and cut his opponent. 19-19.

for those of us lucky enough not to have sky, radio five broadcast a lot of uncle franks shows. obviously the main fight bets the most room but often theres decent commentary from the main support too. Hattons fight is on tonight at 8.50pm

listening to boxing on the radio is something that on occasion i prefer to do rather than watch the fight live. even in this day of instant comunication, internet, ppv etc theres still something warm about tuning into a big fight featuring a british fighter in the middle of the night, usually around 4am!

Mitchell knocked down Stewart in the early stages of round four, but Stewart hurt Mitchell soon after. 39-36 Mitchell.

Mitchell won easilly as Stewart was knocked down three times. I think Sharmba was hit a little bit more than he should've been, and I'm surprised he couldn't put Stewart away.
Scoring: 117-109, 120-106, 120-105

Hatton TKO6 Pedersen. Shock.

I think you're right Neil, the radio reminds me of my far off youth and listening to fights in the early hours. Used to be Ian Darke sometimes.

Well The Dane was very brave in there, but completely outgunned as expected.

Notice how they announced him as the former IBF interwhatever Light Welterweight champion?! He was actualy the IBF Intercontinental Super Featherweight champion - cynical or what?
Onto 5th June, and let's hope it's Mitchell in the other corner. Gary Shaw will drive a hard deal, but I'm sure Frank will find the money somehow.

Mitchell was as slick as ever, but he didn't like the few body shots that landed I thought.
Hatton will grind him down for a late stopage, or points maybe.

I heard Lennon say IBF Intercontinental Junior Lightweight champion.
