Nelson Birchall vs Eliecer Quezada
A professional debut for Morecambe’s decorated amateur Birchall. Birchall started strongly, heavily pressuring his opponent in the opening round and bloodying his nose. Quezada tried meeting fire with fire in the next three rounds, admirably catching Birchall on occasion in between receiving a thorough beatdown.
The final round was closer between the pair, Birchall was close to getting a stoppage, but took a number of shots from Quezada and showed little regard for defence.
Winner by Points Decision 40-36 Nelson Birchall
Isaac Lowe vs Jonatas Rodrigo
Isaac Lowe had been the original intended headliner for this card against Lee McGregor, but this was cancelled following injury to McGregor.
Lowe came out aggressively, knocking his opponent down towards the end of the first round. Rodrigo failed to beat the 10 count with Lowe picking up a simple KO victory.
Winner by KO in round 1 Isaac Lowe
Codie Smith vs Darryl Tapfuma
Codie Smith was cut beside the right eye in round 2 following a clash of heads. Tapfuma tried to capitalise on the injury and targeted the eye, but Smith continued to outwork and outland his opponent. Tapfuma gained the advantage in round 4, Smith picked up warnings for a low blow and holding, and Tapfuma scored a knockdown from a right hand.
A tight fifth round followed, with Tapfuma probably shading the action. Tapfuma then took the sixth and final round, showing far more activity than Codie Smith.
Referee Decision 57-57 Draw
James Moorcroft vs Matthew Rennie
Moorcroft and Rennie contested 8 back and forth rounds that saw neither man step back.

Both raised their arms afloat at the conclusion of the contest thinking they had done enough.
Winner by Points Decision 77-75 Matthew Rennie
Nathan Gorman vs Bohdan Myronets
Over 5 stone in weight difference between the heavyweight pair, with Gorman weighing near 300 pounds. Myronets previously beat Kash Ali on a Wasserman Boxing show earlier this year.
Myronets started well in the bout, taking two of the first three rounds and tiring his larger opponent. Myronets continued to outperform Gorman in round 4 as neither fighter applied much pressure to each other, and Myronets was able to easily outland his opposition with a strong jab.
Gorman adopted a strategy of throwing bombs, and he simply wasn’t landing on Myronets. He stepped up the pace in round 7 and was able to land successive blows, but Myronets stood tall and absorbed the damage.
The final round didn’t see any improvement in output from Gorman, as Myronets strategy of outworking him succeeded with little in the way of resistance.
Winner by Points Decision 77-76 Bohdan Myronets
Chloe Watson vs Justine Lallemand
This bout was contested over 10 rounds for the EBU European Flyweight title.
Watson started in a lively fashion, taking the opener against the much taller Justine Lallemand. Watson backed Lallemand up heavily in round 4 against the ropes, completely negating the size advantage and pushing for an early stoppage.
Lallemand came back into contention during the middle rounds, leaning heavily on Watson when she worked at close range. It became a clash of styles with a lot of swing rounds between the pair, and little to separate them in the middle rounds. Watson ensured victory by pressing the action in the final rounds, although the rounds continued to be competitive.
Winner via Unanimous Decision 96-94, 97-93 (x2) Chloe Watson
Dan Toward vs Fabrizio Rubino
Debutant Dan Toward closed the show quickly, ending his 4 round contest in the second round with a TKO.
Winner via TKO in round 2 Dan Toward
