SEVENTH HEAVEN

You guessed it... Yet another clean sweep for the red corner

MAIDSTONE NOVEMBER 6 ★★★★★ WHOLE SHOW

MAIDSTONE Leisure Centre played host to the town’s first show in almost two years, with seven bouts constituting the bill on this Scott Calow promotion, the outcome of which was distance victories for all seven home boxers.

Bill-topping action, a six between Sidcupborn featherweight Martin Hillman and Ghanaian Raymond Commey proved a particularly close fought and entertaining affair, which had the crowd roaring and which needed one last push from Martin to see him home by just a single point.

A four-round clash up at heavyweight saw Sittingbourne’s DL Jones returning from an absence of over three years and securing a ninth paid victory, despite him being left with a cut after an early clash of heads with Swindon’s Phil Williams.

Luton first-timer Nicola Barke, dubbed “The Burmese Python” went in against Tereza

Dvořáková of the Czech Republic over sixtwo’s and the former ballet dancer turned taekwondo, kick-boxing and bare-knuckle fighter had her arm raised at the finish. So too did fellow first-timers Tyrone King and

Robert Caswell, Sittingbourne middleweight King securing a four-round shut out win over Langold’s Luke Middleton while wildly popular Chatham feather Caswell was in control throughout his own four against Luke

Fash, the experienced Hull puncher being forced to endure spells of serious pressure.

Southpaw welter Matar Sambou, born in Senegal but now based and boxing regularly in the UK, secured a rare victory by besting Camden’s still winless Lee Devine who was in as a late substitute for Michael Mooney, and there was a win over four too for Sheerness lightweight Martin Mcdonagh who having been ko’d late by Harlem Eubank last time out dominated from start to finish against Bognor’s Carl Turney.
