Tommy Fury vs Daniel Bocianski
In round two, Tommy caught Bocianski with a big backhand right, straight down the pipe. The pair came together a bit awkwardly at times, Fury receiving a telling off from referee Kieran McCann at one point. 'TNT' Tommy ended the round with another straight right flush on the chin.
Tommy's flick-out jab was very successful all fight long.By round five, 'Bocian' was marked up under his left eye. 30 seconds to the end of round five and Fury lined up a looping long right hand to deck the Pole, who now had a cut above his left eye too.
Staggering around, Bocianski ate a big 'TNT' uppercut but somehow managed to survive to hear the final bell. Half-brother to Tyson, Tommy Fury won 60-54 on points and moved up to 8-0.
FIGHT 5: 7:45pm
8×3 Heavyweight contest
David Adeleye vs Chris Healey
Despite his appearance, Healey was boxing well in the first few rounds, but Adeleye was snapping his head back with jabs and backhands more and more by round three. He walked back to his corner with a bloodied nose at the end of round three.
In the fourth round, Healey took a big right to the head, followed up by some more punishmen and was rightly stopped just a minute into the round.
FIGHT 6: 8:10pm
12×3 WBC Silver Featherweight contest
Isaac Lowe vs Nick Ball
Far smaller in stature, Ball was having to reach in to try to land his shots. The young underdog was the aggressor, forcing the action. Not a lot landed in this round, but the tension ws palpable. It feels like a fight that could ignite at any point.
Round did catch fire! A long left hand took Lowe off his feet early in the round, then he was down again at the end. Ball was seconds away from winning but experience and heart got Lowe through to the third.
Another fun three minutes in round three. Lowe is badly cut over the left eye.
Lowe is bleeding badly, Ball is remaining calm and professional despite being a novice.
Round five was a bloodbath, both boxers bleeding. Lowe has a terribly deep cut above his left eye and Ball seems to have a cut on the top of his head.
Round six and Lowe is on the frontfoot despite him being behind, Ball was happy to sit back and counter punch. Then, Lowe gets turned in the corner and Ball takes full advantage by smashing in left hooks while Lowe is facing outwards towards the crowd. He looks to the referee for help, who allows play to continue, so Ball slammed in some left hands, until referee stopped the fight in round six at the same time the towell was thrown in.
Poised and punishing, prospect Nick Ball fought his best fight and now a new star is born!

Ekow Essuman vs Darren Tetley
Challenger Tetley started brightly, winning a lot of the first few rounds, although very close still.
In round five, Ekow began to take control after a shaky start and looked like he hurt Tetly early on. Despite Tetley's success, you just feel like it's a matter of time before Essuman really takes over.
By round six, Essuman had found his rythym but it was still a 50-50 contest, perhaps even on the cards at this point.
