10:52pm

YOUNG V POJONISEVS - YOUNG WINS 59-56

10:50pm

YOUNG V POJONISEVS ROUND SIX (FINAL ROUND)

Pojonisev knows he has to produce something special to take the win, but Young keeps jabbing to keep him at arms' length. When he does that his opponent has know answers, but, to his credit, Pojonisev keeps battling and lands a number of shots to the body.

That's it, and it looks as if Young has done enough, but we await the decision.

10:45pm

YOUNG V POJONISEVS ROUND FIVE

Young finds his range with his jab again, and puts together a good flurry of punches which force his man into the ropes. Pojonisev continues to push forwards, but spends a lot of energy to launch a series of big punches which only make contact with Young's gloves.

For me, the fight is Young's as long as he keeps himself out of trouble in the final round.

10:42pm

YOUNG V POJONISEVS ROUND FOUR

Pojonisev's punches are more aggressive than Young's, and the Swindon man is losing his discipline slightly as he stops using his jab. He finds his range by the end of the round, but the Latvian already had done enough to win that one.

10:37pm

YOUNG V POJONISEVS ROUND THREE

Young is more and more in control of this one, and when he works his jab well Pojonisev has no answer. When he stops pushing him back with his jab, that is when the Latvian is able to pounce.

10:34pm

YOUNG V POJONISEVS ROUND TWO

When Young gets in and out with his jab he is in control of this, but Pojonisev has come to fight, and has tagged Young on a couple of occasions despite his height disadvantage.

10:30pm

YOUNG V POJONISEVS ROUND ONE

Young was right, his Latvian opponent is a dangerous and the first round was pretty even. The Swindon man is looking to use his jab to get in, and if he does, his height advantage could see him through.

10:26pm

We're underway!

10:26pm

The Swindon fighter has a huge height advantage.

10:25pm

That's it for the undercard, with Kelvin Young due on soon for tonight's main event.

The Swindon man faces a change of opponent after Matthew Barney pulled out of their scheduled Southern Area super middleweight title fight, and although his belt is no longer on the line, he admitted his opponent tonight is a dangerous one.

KELVIN YOUNG

“I was devastated when I heard Matthew Barney had pulled out but I have to be professional,” said Young.

“We had a game plan for Barney and now that has had to change.
undefined

“It’s far from ideal but I have to just get on with it.

“Losing to Tony Hill was a big blow because I am desperate to compete at the top domestic level so I wante d to bounce back with a big win.

“I can still do that against Pojonisevs and I must do that. It is still a must-win fight for me. I cannot afford to lose.”

10:24pm

Here comes Kelvin Young!

Never in doubt

10:17pm

DEAN FRANCIS v ATILLS TIBOR NAGY ROUND SIX

10:14pm

DEAN FRANCIS v ATILLS TIBOR NAGY ROUND FIVE

Francis slightly steps things up to slightly trouble Nagy a little more, but seems happy enough to cruise to victory.

10:10pm

Francis is landing his punches with ease after working his way in with his jab, but while in complete control doesn't seem keen to get out of second gear.

DEAN FRANCIS

10:06pm

Maybe a bit tighter than expected, but the right result.

9:46pm

VAN POETSCH V SAMUELS ROUND FOUR

All Samuels in the final round, until Van Poetsch replies with one big punch. The Lydney fighter looks out on his feet, and Samuels has surely taken it.

9:45pm

VAN POETSCH V SAMUELS ROUND THREE

Van Poetsch looking shakey on his feet at the end of that one. Neither is running away with it, but Samuels on top I would say.

9:38pm

VAN POETSCH V SAMUELS ROUND TWO

Samuels connects with a big left which sends his man staggering back into the corner, and from there controls the round despite Van Potsch's best efforts.

9:35pm

VAN POETSCH V SAMUELS ROUND ONE

Neither fighter is looking to die wondering in this one which begins at a frantic pace, and both trade blows throughout the three minutes. Even stuff, which the Samuels camp insist belongs to the Welshman.

9:28pm

Lots of fans in for Van Poetsch as he makes his way into the ring.

9:27pm

Next in the ring are Lewis van Poetsch and Jerome Samuels for a light-middleweight contest over four rounds.

9:26pm

MUCHA V WARBURTON - MUCHA WINS 60-54

The right outcome for sure, but probably does Warburton a disservice. The Lancashire man never stopped boxing and looked dangerous.

9:24pm

MUCHA V WARBURTON ROUND SIX

Mucha takes it up a gear and lands a succession of bit hits to the stomach, and despite not showing his best, had enough to take this fight.

9:21pm

MUCHA V WARBURTON ROUND FIVE

Warburton starts well with a big jab to the face, but Mucha was in control of that round and continued to work the body.

9:18pm

MUCHA V WARBURTON ROUND FOUR

The Lancastrian kept moving well throughout round four, and is doing a good job of restricting Mucha to a few speculative efforts.

9:13pm

MUCHA V WARBURTON ROUND THREE

That round goes to Mucha, who was by far the more aggressive. The Reading man threw a flurry of shots at the body, as well as connecting with one to the chin.

9:08pm

MUCHA V WARBURTON ROUND TWO

Warburton opens the round with a strong jab to the head, but Mucha battles back and lands a few of his own. This one is not as clear-cut as first thought.

9:05pm

MUCHA V WARBURTON ROUND ONE

Neither boxer really took control of the opening round, but Mucha held better ring position and forced his man up against the ropes to land a few good shots.

9:00pm

Next up, the very highly rated Tamuka Mucha takes on Lancashire's William Warburton over four, three minute welterweight rounds.

8:49pm

Never in doubt this one, but Fox battled back well.

8:47pm

O'REILLY v FOX ROUND FOUR

You have to give credit to Fox for coming back into these, but O'Reilly once again edged this round and will get the decision. He has won every round.

A more even round, with neither fighter able to get room to land any meaningful punches. O'Reilly still in control but Fox has battled back well.

8:39pm

O'REILLY v FOX ROUND TWO

A shot to the back of the head puts Fox on his knees, and O'Reilly tears into his opponent and lands a flurry of good shots to the head after pinning his man on the ropes. O'Reilly by a mile so far.

8:35pm

O'REILLY v FOX ROUND ONE

An aggressive start from the Swindon man who easily takes the opening round, and some big shots to the head inside the final minute threatened to do some real damage.

8:31pm

Four three minute light-middleweight rounds here.

8:30pm

DANNY O'REILLY

8:28pm

Swindon's Danny O'Reilly up next, taking on Arron Fox of Westbury.

8:27pm

USHER V MCCAULEY - USHER WINS 39-38

DAZA USHER

THe Bicester man takes it from what was a very even contest. Usha was slightly more busy than the Brighton man, and deserved to edge it.

8:25pm

USHER V MCCAULEY ROUND FOUR

Another close round ends the fight, but both men looked tired by the end.

Waiting for the decision, but I would give it to Usher.

8:21pm

USHER V MCCAULEY ROUND THREE

Best round of the match so far.

Usher landed some big shots inside the opening 90 seconds, but mCCauley came back strong and connected with two good punches of his own. Tough to call this one.

8:16pm

An even round there, with both boxers looking to get forward. Usher landed a good combo to the head.

8:14pm

8:07pm

Second fight of the night sees Bicester's Daza Usher, a regular on KM Promotions' shows, taking on Brighton's Kevin McCauley.

8:03pm

BEEDEN V RASAK ROUND SIX

Both fighters go hell for leather in the final seconds of the round, but Rasak's punches seems to make more of an impact than Beeden's. Now for the decision.

8:00pm

BEEDEN V RASAK ROUND FIVE

The Birmingham fighter clearly feels he is on top in this one, as he stops to showboat and taunt the crowd mid-round. He is a lot calmer than his opponent, with Beedon having to work his socks off to land a punch. Pretty even though.

7:57pm

BEEDEN V RASAK ROUND FOUR

Razak takes that round with ease, as he stays on the front-foot for the entire two minutes against the tiring Swindon fighter.

7:51pm

7:49pm

BEEDEN V RASAK ROUND ONE

The Swindon man came right out on the offensive in what was his first round as a pro, but despite being by far the busier fighter he failed to land any meaningful shots. The experienced Rasak came back into it in the final few sections, but it was Beedon's round.

7:44pm

Here comes Beedon!

This is a light-welterweight contest over six two minute rounds.

7:43pm

The first fight of the night is Swindon's Joe Beeden taking on Sid Rasak of Birmingham, and the Midlander has just taken to the ring.
