CRAIG ROLLS ON
Cunningham keeps busy after a successful 2016
often messy, rounds, Foster found his range against the shorter Fidoe in the fourth and fifth before the Evesham scrapper pegged him back with a big effort in the last.
The scheduled four-threes between Birmingham’s Jordan Lynch and Lewis van Poetsch
was all over after 1-58 of the first, van Poetsch ending a 32-fight winless streak with a shock stoppage.
The first meaningful punch Lydney’s van Poetsch threw was a perfectly-timed right hand down the pipe that dropped Lynch heavily. He was up at ‘six’, was soon dropped again by rights and this time, Mr Messer waved it off after Lynch got up on shaky legs.
In a four-threes, flashy Ishmael Ellis outpointed Danny Little
39-38 in a good fight that could have been scored a draw, and lofty switch-hitter Shakan Pitters
hurt stubborn Latvian left-hander Jevgenijs Andrejevs to the body, but couldn’t go through the gears to force the stoppage and had to settle for a 40-36 points win.
Dordon ticket-seller Kelcie Ball
was also a shutout points winner, dominating Telford veteran Kieron Gray, and in the show-opener, Birmingham vegan Jack “No Beef” O’keefe was a 39-37 winner over Matthew Ashmole, the Swansea battler probably nicking the last.
THE VERDICT Cunningham continues his fine run of form.
