Kell Brook Vs Carson Jones

After months of injury frustration Kell Brook made his return to the ring with an eighth-round stoppage victory over old nemesis Carson Jones. Brook who was on the verge of world honours saw title fights with Devon Alexander fall through on three occasions. This fight came after a ring absence that goes back to October and against an opponent who in their last fight took Brook to the brink of defeat. However Brook came out looking very sharp and his lightning right hands were landing at will. A fierce barrage of punches sent Jones to one knee. The third round saw much the same as Jones was eating shots from Brook. Just like in their previous fight jones wasn’t going to go down easily and he came out fighting in the fourth landing combinations that drew blood from the nose of Brook. Although Brook was starting to feel the pace of the fight in the fifth he was still landing the better shots. The seventh round saw another break through for Brook after a big upper cut knocked Jones off balance you could sense that this fight could end prematurely. In the eighth Brook came out all guns blazing and landed some vicious right hands in which Jones was given a standing count. Brook could now sense the end and went in for the kill; with Jones on the ropes absorbing punishment the referee brought a halt to the fight. 

Luke Campbell Vs Andy Harris

Luke Campbell made a dream start to his professional career with a first round stoppage of Andy Harris. The Olympic gold medalist had his opponent off balance with a right hook high to the head. Harris then took another handful of shots and the crowd could sense the end was near. Campbell then had his opponent pinned into a corner and unleashed some bitter blows in which the referee had no choice but to wave the fight off after just one minute 28 seconds. 

Anthony Ogogo Vs Gary Boulden

Anthony Ogogo continued his unbeaten professional career with a fifth round stoppage win over Gary Boulden. Ogogo looked slick and sharp from the start and the win never looked in doubt for the Olympic bronze medallist. Ogogo had his opponent down in the fourth and it was clear he was in trouble. The Brit upped the pace in the fifth in which Boulden just couldn’t handle it and after a flurry of accurate shots from Ogogo referee Howard Foster stepped in and called it off.
