Hinckley’s Musa pick of the bunch at Villa, writes Andy Whittle

-

HINCKLEY’S Musa Moyo caught the eye during a one-sided debut win several weeks ago and, urged on by a noisy bunch of supporters in the Holte Suite at Villa Park, he turned in another cracking performanc­e en route to the clearest 40-36 victory I’ve seen for some time.

Krajevskij was battered from the opening bell right through to the last. If Moyo could get down to middleweig­ht where his punches would make more of a dent he would be some addition.

Dudley’s Shaun Messer oversaw the drubbing of Krajevskij and he handed another shut out victory to seriously popular debutant

Bradley Goldsmith who, from Coventry but boxing out of the Ingle’s Sheffield gym, dominated behind the jab against Islington’s hugely experience­d Jordan Grannum. Leamington lightweigh­t Danny

Quartermai­ne banked a third successive win in the only six of the evening, referee Chris Dean awarding him every round against Hereford’s experience­d Dean Evans, who increasing­ly found himself under fire and on the receiving end of meaty combinatio­ns upstairs.

Tamworth’s former Midlands Area title challenger Louis Fielding and Chelmsley Wood lightweigh­t Scott Melvin ran out 40-37 winners in respective bouts refereed by Mr. Messer and Mr. Dean, Fielding getting the better of Devizes puncher Stu Greener who did enough to earn a share of the last, and well-supported Melvin proved too much for British-based Romanian Constantin Radoi.

There wasn’t a huge amount of daylight in all-brummie four-rounder between debutant

Elliott Sowe and Josh Hodgins, the former taking the 39-37 verdict of referee Dean. Light-heavyweigh­t Steed Woodall banked a 40-36 win over Middleton’s Darryl Sharp.
