England - Cruiserwieghts Round 1

Round 1:

Johnny Nelson vs Paul Bonson - Nelson smothered Bonson, scoring 2 knockdowns in the 2nd, then hurting him badly in the 3rd before the ref ended the fight for the TKO.

David Haye vs Michael Pinnock - Haye pitched a shutout through the first 10 rounds, scoring a pair of knockdowns before completely closing Pinnock's left eye in the 11th for the TKO. The crowd gave Pinnock a rousing ovation for his efforts when the decision was announced!

Ola Afolabi vs Denzil Browne - Afolabi dominated Brown for the first 12 rounds before the swelling of Browne's right orb became so pronounced that the fight was stopped in the 13th. Afolabi was ahead 9-2, 9-2, 10-1 through 12.

Carl Thompson vs John Keeton - Thompson mauled Keeton for the first 7 rounds before scoring the KO in the 8th. Thompson had recieved 5 warnings for various infractions, but didn't let that change his tactics.

Terry Dunstan vs Garry Delaney - Dunstan hurt Delaney in the 1st, then put him away with 1:16 left in the 2nd with a short clean uppercut that landed flush on the hapless Delaney's chin for the 10 count.

Bruce Scott vs Robert Norton - Scott was much stronger than the game Norton, who didn't let that stop him from giving his all. The crowd spent a large part of the fight on their feet as Scott scored 3 knockdowns, the final one for the KO in the 13th. Scott was ahead 8-3, 8-3, 7-4 at the time of the stop. Both warriors recieved standing ovations!

Sammy Reeson vs Derek Angol - Angol gave as good as he got in the first 3 rounds, even dominating the 3rd! In the 4th however, he walked into a Reeson left hook that laid him out like a corpse in a morgue! A 10 count later, Reeson had his hand raised in victory!

Mark Hobson vs Glenn McCrory - Hobson built up a lead with excellent ring movement and occasional offense then withstood a knockdown in the 15th round that nearly cost him everything! In the end the judges scored it 9-6, 10-5, 9-5 for Hobson.
