POLE-AXED, AGAIN...

Moran’s fine run of form continues

JUST 24 hours after successfully staging a three-fight dinner show in Wigan, Neil Marsh joined forces with Middleton’s Kieran Farrell to promote a similar affair in the more familiar surrounds of the Hilton Hotel in Blackpool.

Irish super-welter Dylan Moran brought his first year as a pro to a conclusion with a quick-fire victory over 33-year-old Pole

Sylwester Walczak who comes here and is duly halted on a far too regular basis.

Dylan had joined the paid ranks as recently as May and having outpointed Chris Jenkinson on his debut had needed just a round to see off usually durable Nicaraguan Geiboord Omier last time out. So little surprise then that he was able to replicate that first round victory here against a fighter whose balance looks off at the best of times, and who has now failed to last the distance in all but one of his last six visits, four times failing to make it past the first round.

For Altrincham’s George Brennan conversely, 2017 hadn’t been all plain sailing, there had been three wins but also a points loss at the hands of admittedly superior Louis Norman and prior to that a drawn fourrounder against Scouser Ricky Starkey. His roller-coaster year finished in a disappointing fashion as he was eclipsed by the narrowest of margins over four rounds by Evesham tryer

Brett Fidoe who referee for the night Mr Edwards decided had done sufficient to merit a 39-38 victory.

It was Brett’s second success of the year and he is out again next Wednesday, taking on unbeaten local puncher Tommy Frank in Sheffield.

Heywood’s Lee “Kombat” Clayton had edged out the aforementioned Fidoe over four in May and he had his arm raised by referee Edwards at the conclusion of his four rounder against Islington’s busy Jules

Phillips, the Preston official adjudging him a 40-36 winner.

THE VERDICT Maybe the time has come to stop considering Walczak as a suitable opponent.
