<\/a><\/p>\nLex Weston vs Jensen Irving<\/p>\n
The second fight of the night saw fan favourite Lex Weston also make his professional debut taking on Swindon\u2019s Jensen Irving in a four round super-welterweight battle. The fight had a slow start and both looked cagey. Weston\u2019s corner continually urged their man to \u2018keep it simple\u2019. In the second round both began to let the hands go and put combinations together. Lex used his left jab effectively in the third, working on the inside leaving Irving circling and backed onto the ropes. By the final round Weston had fully moved through the gears and was starting the catch the tiring Irving with lefts and rights. To his credit, Irving never gave up but with Weston\u2019s superior movement, nothing was landing. Weston deservedly got the decision 40-36.<\/p>\n
Gary Arthurs vs Kristaps Zulgis<\/p>\n
In fight three West Belfast Gary Arthurs took on Latvian Kristaps Zulgis in his third professional bout. The opening round was quiet from both, but round two started faster, with Kristaps being urged by the corner to close his man down. Arthurs remained composed and showed some great defensive skills that were clearly frustrating his opponent. Arthurs used his jab well throughout the fourth and could have done more in the final few minutes as Kristaps was looking leggy. The West Belfast man got the decision and moves to 3-0.<\/p>\n
Cathal Jennings vs Connor Meanwell<\/p>\n
Fight four saw Newry\u2019s Cathal Jennings take on Englishman Connor Meanwell in a four round welterweight clash. The Dan Anderson trained man won his first professional fight in the Devenish in April and looked composed as he entered the ring. Both men went straight to work with the first round being the best of the night so far. The second was a repeat of the first, with Meanwell beginning to tire from the relentless onslaught of Jennings. The Newry man had success with thunderous uppercuts in the third. The latter half of the fourth descended into all out war with both swinging lefts and rights centre ring. Jennings got the decision 40-36 and moves to 2-0. Fight of the night.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Teo Alin vs Caine Singh<\/p>\n
The penultimate fight was between Cookstown\u2019s Two Alin and Caine Singh in a six round lightweight battle. Teo used his movement to great effect, pivoting to move in and out of range. To his credit Singh kept moving forward and absorbed everything being thrown at him. He had some success of his own, taking advantage as Teo\u2019s hands began to drop. Singh was beginning to show signs of tiredness at the end of the fourth and unsurprisingly the fifth proved to be decisive as Teo started landing lefts and rights until the referee had no choice but to wave it off. Singh\u2019s corner were not happy but ultimately it was the correct decision. Teo Alin got his first stoppage as a pro and moves to 5-0.<\/p>\n
Jack O\u2019Neill vs Jake Pollard<\/p>\n
The main event saw West Belfast\u2019s Jack O\u2019Neill take on Bradford\u2019s Jake Pollard in a six rounder featherweight clash. Jack \u2018Wacko\u2019 O\u2019Neill coached by Ray Ginley of Tribe Boxing was the busier fighter throughout the opening rounds, switching with ease between stances, constantly moving and jabbing looking for any opportunity. Pollard kept his hands high and arms locked to his torso for the majority. Surprisingly O\u2019Neill found himself on the canvas in the third as he was caught unexpectedly though quickly returned to his feet and laughed it off. This seemed to bring increased focus and determination to his work as he walked Pollard down and finished the last three rounds the far stronger fighter. O\u2019Neill got the decision 58-55 and moves to 5-0.<\/p>\n
A great event once again by Hammer Boxing and Conlan Boxing. Congratulations to all involved. It is safe to say that the future of Belfast boxing is in good hands.<\/p>\n
