The Boxingtalk Scoreboard: Gwynne upsets McComb

Gavin Gwynne TKO7 Sean McComb... Gavin Gwynne upset Sean McComb to win the vacant Commonwealth lightweight title on MTK Fight Night. Gwynne picked up a seventh-round stoppage victory to claim the belt at the University of Bolton Stadium. Both men had success throughout the fight, and each of them had to deal with cuts, with McComb suffering from one over his eyebrow, while an accidental elbow opened a bad cut on the back of Gwynne’s head. In the end it was Gwynne who earned the win against the brave McComb, coming out on top in the seventh round to claim the vacant belt. Afterwards, Gwynne said, “I’m speechless and I don’t know what to say. I put so much into this camp. Nobody was going to beat me, no world class fighter was going to stop me. We know Sean is a class amateur and I couldn’t outbox him. I had to take it to him, I started going to work and putting my shots together. Fair play to him he stayed on his feet but we got the win, and I can’t put into words how much it means. I’ve had big fights but it was the first time that Sean had really stepped up, so I knew this was going to be tough for him. This will be my boy’s belt now!”
 
Samuel Antwi TKO6 Darren Tetley... Samuel Antwi stopped Darren Tetley in round six to win the vacant English welterweight title It was a fast start from Antwi, dropping Tetley in round one thanks to a vicious shot to the body. Tetley was able to recover and come back with some shots of his own, but Antwi remained in the driver's seat. Another body shot dropped Tetley in round six, and while he was able to get back to his feet, a big shot followed by Antwi, forcing the referee to jump in, with opinions split as to whether it was an early stoppage or the correct decision. Antwi said: “He was a game opponent. I knew it would be tricky but I found the shot I was looking for, stuck to the game plan and then we got him out of there. I didn’t want to rush the work as I thought I may make more mistakes. I landed some good shots, took my time and was patient with it. We got there in the end and now this is my foot in the door of a very busy welterweight scene. It’s been a year out for me and this is my first fight back. We got the ring rust out the way, now I’m warmed up and ready to go.”
 
Danny Carr W10 Dean Dodge...  Super featherweight Danny Carr got a ten-round points win over previously unbeaten Dean Dodge. The official score was 97-93.  There had been some words exchanged between the two men in the build up to the fight, and the fireworks continued in the ring as both fighters gave it their all. The bout served as an eliminator for the English title. Carr said: “It’s been a while without a fight, and so I had to put a lot of hard work in the gym and it has paid off. There was a bit of to and fro with Dodge in the build up, but in the ring I did what I needed to do. I was always confident of getting the job done, and now that the momentum is out the way I want to keep fighting. I want the English title next, and hopefully I can get that soon.”
