Kelsey Leonard v Beata Dudek

Round 1 Leonard comes out and takes the fight to Dudek. Looks very energetic and pursues her opponent relentlessly. Good start.

Round 2 Again Leonard sets the pace and gives Dudek very little respite. Looks to be in great shape. Very dominant in her third pro fight.

Round 3 Another good round for Leonard. Really punished Dudek’s body towards the latter stages of the round. Very confident display so far, doing very well.

Round 4 Leonard turned up the heat there. Had Leonard hurt and it briefly looked like she might get a stoppage. How will the Hungarian be after a minute’s respite?

Round 5 A better round for Dudek. Leonard dominates but doesn’t really put her foot on the gas as might have happened. Will she go for the stoppage in the last round?

Round 6 Dudek gets on her bike and tries to get away from Leonard, who wants the stoppage. She does manage to land some very spiteful shots throughout the round, but Dudek, who has never been stopped, makes it to the bell. A good display from Leonard, it is scored 60-54.

Donagh Keary v Steven Maguire

Round 1 Very good round for Keary. A confident start coming off a loss just two months ago. Has really set a tone his corner will be happy with. Has a lot of support here.

Round 2 It’s stopped midway through the round! When Keary hurt his man he really stepped on the gas and finished it very well. Keary has recovered very well on that evidence. An excellent performance.

Gary Arthurs v Jordan Grannum

Round 1 A fairly even round. There is a lot of blood flowing from the nose of Arthurs. Will it distract and bother him going forward?

Round 2 It’s an interesting fight now. Grannum probably took that as he landed the more powerful shots, despite Arthurs having his moments. An upset is on.

Round 3 It has turned into a nightmare for Arthurs, who has been comfortably defeated in that round. It looks impossible to salvage now.

Round 4 Arthurs fought all the way, but he was dominated by Grannum. The damage to his nose was bad and clearly bothered him throughout. Grannum wins by 40-36. His record is now 12-175-6. No arguing about that one. Very disappointing for Arthurs, it all unravelled very early on.

Rhys Owens v Jorge Luis Huerta

Round 1 A fairly uneventful opener, Owens does land a few good body shots in the last 40 seconds. Huerta is pushed back consistently, but isn’t troubled so far.

Round 2 Much more pace and intensity from Owens. Landed a few good right hands half a minute in, while there were some tough body shots for the Mexican to take in the latter stages.

Round 3 Good stuff again from Owens, lands some more good shots, but the Mexican takes them quite well and proceeds to the final round.

Round 4 Convincing win from the Enniskillen fighter. Very dominant. Landed some very nice shots. Hurt the Mexican in that final round. It’s scored 40-36, the second win of Owens burgeoning professional career, he can look forward to 2026 with some positivity.

Bernardo Marime v Angelo Dragone

Round 1 Good first round for Marime who went looking for his opponent. Landed some good body shots, Dragone hasn’t really got started yet.

Round 2 A second good round for Marime. Quite a bit of holding throughout the round, the referee had a word with both fighters. Dragone needs to find some momentum.

Round 3 Dragone tried to come forward a bit more but took a lot of heavy shots to the body. Marime looks very comfortable, well on top thusfar.

Round 4 Dragone takes a lot of shots. Seeks to push Marime back and to hold, looks to be trying to survive rather than win now.

Round 5 Very good round for Marime. He seemed to hurt Dragone mid way through the round. Marime is very comfortable and looks a certain winner.

Round 6 A very good display from Marime who is a really comfortable winner. Looked for the stoppage in the final round but it was not to be. Dragone does take quite a bit of punishment but does hear the final bell. It is scored 60-54, there is really no other way of looking at it. Marime is now 7-0.

Lex Weston v Joe Harvey

Round 1 Harvey did okay early on, but Weston was better in the second half, landing a few spiteful shots on the body of his opponent.

Round 2 Weston showed some good hand speed throughout the round, picked some nice shots. Hardy spends a bit of time trying to goad the Belfast man, but he doesn’t look as ambitious as in the first. Throws some big shots that all miss.

Round 3 All the action was late in the round. Weston took a big right hand, and Harvey did seek to build upon it. However Weston rallied in the closing seconds with some good shots. Three minutes to go.

Round 4 Little to write home about in the fourth, Weston never really troubled and there was no sign of him stopping the Leeds fighter either. It goes to Weston by 40-36.

Christina Desmond v Naila Abigail Peloso

Round 1 A good first round from Desmond, who landed frequently with her jab and with some punishing left hands.

Round 2 Desmond stalks Peloso around the ring, and lands some heavy shots, but the South American takes the punishment quite well.

Round 3 Peloso takes a lot of shots late in the round. She has been under constant pressure for every minute of the three rounds and it is starting to tell.

Round 4 Another round in the bank for the Cork Garda, but Peloso gets through it again.

Round 5 Peloso takes some punishing shots, but she shows good survival instincts. Can she get through the last two minutes?

Round 6 A very one-sided 60-54 decision. While Desmond went for the knock out late on, her opponent was very tough and heard the final bell. She can be happy enough with her nights work against the South American who just wasn’t going to be stopped.

Reeves v Jacob Marrer

Lee Reeves has won his bout, stopping Jacob Marrer after 1:23 of the third round. Reeves moves to 15-1 and is the first man to stop journeyman Marrer, who is now 0-15.
