BRAD WORKS HARD

The Epping-based ‘Newquay Bomb’ stays unbeaten, writes Will Hale

PLYMOUTH OCTOBER 17 ★★★★★ WHOLE SHOW ★★★★★ ATMOSPHERE

NEWQUAY’S Brad Pauls scored a 59-55 sixround points verdict over tough Bulgarian

Angel Emilov on Chas Coakley’s card in topping a Goodwin Promotions’ show at Plymouth’s Guildhall. Brad was made to work hard by the visitor, who’d arrived in tremendous condition and with considerable ambition. The action was competitive and fast-paced, but Brad clearly got the best of the hard-fought exchanges.

In an undercard marathon comprising of nine contests over four-threes, Launceton’s

Marcus Hodgeson was held to a 38-38 draw by Hull’s Luke Fash on Lee Every’s slate.

Islington’s “Brown Eagle” Jordan Grannum upset Plymouth’s Darren Townley on Coakley’s tally. Swindon’s Phil Williams looked unlucky not to take a share of his fight with Whetstone’s Harry Armstrong as he dropped a 39-37 verdict in Every’s copybook. Plymouth’s promising Conor Adaway earned a convincing 40-35 decision against Accra’s tough Raymond Commey on Coakley’s ledger.

Southpaw Constantin Ursu, a Moldovan now based out of the Ocean city, shut out Mexican Fernando Valencia on Every’s card.

In two further shut outs officiated by Every, Plymouth’s Lewis Everson bested Lancashire’s Seamus Devlin in a heated affair, and Acton’s

switch-hitting Dalton Miller outworked Latvia’s Kristaps Zulgis.

Port Talbort’s former Welsh amateur champion Conor Mcintosh impressed with a 40-35 verdict over Lancashire’s Dean

Wilkinson on Coakley’s card. Finally, Manchester’s Scott Williams took a knee at 0-21 of the second and was counted out by Coakley against Penzance’s Dylan

Courtney, who had damaged his right hand.
