Max McIntyre wins battle of undefeated prospects
Max McIntyre improved to 9-0 with a sixth-round stoppage of the previously unbeaten Ricaia Warren.
After a willing start from Warren, the 20-year-old McIntyre began to take control in the fourth round and tested out the chin of the Kiwi several times, before a right hand over the top sent his man flying back into the ropes and ending the fight.
Austin Aokuso outguns Ike From Pluto
After a spiteful build-up, Austin Aokuso for the last laugh with a unanimous-decision victory (58-55, 60-53, 59-53)over Ikenna Enyi.
Aokuso dropped Enyi with a powerful left hand in the fifth round but, despite his best efforts (and a premature celebration) couldn’t force the stoppage and had to settle for a points win.
