Hannah Rankin vs Naomi Mannes headlined Warren Boxing Management’s show live on BoxNation. The 10-round bout for the WBA Continental Super Welterweight title headlined the event after Kaisy Khademi vs Ryan Farrag was cancelled.
Former World champion Hannah Rankin (13-7) lost to Naomi Mannes (6-2-1) over 10-rounds via Split Decision. Mannes started the contest off strongly but appeared to be gassing early into the contest, breathing heavily and leaving her gumshield hanging out. Rankin took control in the middle rounds, but Mannes was able to weather the storm and finished the contest on top.
After 10 rounds, the scorecards read 77-75 Mannes, 77-76 Rankin, 79-74 Mannes. Mannes captured the WBA Continental Super Welterweight title and Rankin succumbed to her second consecutive Split Decision defeat. The Classical Warrior also lost via Split Decision on Queensberry’s Magnificent Seven show last year too.
The card from Warren Boxing Management started off with a bang in Liverpool. Irish fighter Paul Ryan (6-0) was knocked out after just 27 seconds by late-notice opponent Fabrizio Rubino (3-3). Ryan landed a single good shot on Rubino and tried to pounce of the fighter, but overexerted himself and got caught. The knockdown was nasty and left Ryan shaking on the canvas.
Boma Brown vs Tobie Vermeire ended with a TKO victory for Boma Brown (3-0). The bout saw Vermeire (0-1-1) drafted in as a late notice replacement and he was outmatched from the beginning. He survived until the second round but was heavily marked and taking damage from every shot. The ref opted to wave it off.
James Heneghan (10-0) returned from inactivity with a 60-53 Points Decision victory over Lukasz Barabasz (3-11). Heneghan controlled the entire contest and Barabasz was deducted a point for repeated holding.
Olivia Hussey (1-0), Tursynbay Kulakhmet (6-1), Nelson Birchall (2-0) and Connor Taylor (3-0) also secured victories on the undercard.
