CHIEF SUPPORT
Lyndon Arthur vs Joel McIntyre
Light Heavyweight – 10 Rounds
Tentative first round, but a round that Arthur certainly won. 'King Arthur' missed a few but managed to land the more eyecatching shots in the opener.
A big right hand in the second – off a one-two – and McIntyre's legs went from underneath him, the Portsmouth puncher tried everything to stay in there and even fired back under such duress, but after another flurry on the ropes – three big shots – the ref jumped in and stopped the fight. It was a great finish by Arthur and McIntyre can be proud that he was stopped on his feet and never went down.
