Tennyson outslugs Gwynne for British lightweight title

James Tennyson TKO6 Gavin Gwynne... James Tennyson is now a legitimate lightweight contender after breaking down Gavin Gwynne for the vacant British lightweight championship. Tennyson, from Northern Ireland, exchanged heavy punches with Gwynne, and even though Tennyson was the man who has come up from lighter weight classes, his punching power was the difference. Tennyson bloodied the face of Gwynne en route to a sixth-round technical knockout. A hard right from Tennyson caused Gwynne to take a knee, and although Gywnne was incredibly game, the referee was wise to stop the contest a few seconds later with Gwynne absorbing punch after punch. Tennyson is now 27-3, including five straight wins at lightweight after a failed world title shot vs. Tevin Farmer. Gwynne heads back to Wales at 12-2. source: dazn
