DOUBLE DELIGHT

Daniel Herbert watches Pauls beat Atherton for win no. 10

-

HARLOW-BASED Newquay puncher

Brad Pauls moved his unbeaten pro record into double figures with a convincing six-round points win over

William Warburton at Tottenham Green Pools & Fitness.

Middleweig­ht Pauls produced all the quality work, thumping the body especially well, but Atherton’s canny Warburton used his experience to reach the final bell where he lost 60-55 for referee Chas Coakley.

Chunky Palmers Green cruiserwei­ght Nick Parpa walked onto a Dmitrij Kalinovski­j right that rocked him in round three before reassertin­g himself with solid hooks to outscore the Lithuanian, 59-55 on Mr Coakley’s card.

The two other sixes on this Goodwins promotion billed as “Titanium” were less eventful, with referee Lee Cook handing 60-55 verdicts to Seven Kings super-welter

Sean Robinson over Islington’s

Jordan Grannum, and to Hitchin super-lightweigh­t Tom Ansell over Canning Town southpaw Lee Hallett.

Popular Louis Isaacs and Dana Zaxo pleased their fans with points victories that were more eventful than the 40-36 scores suggest.

Long-armed Plymouth Mohamed Mahmoud marked Isaacs under the left eye before the super-lightweigh­t Londoner got inside and subdued him with hooks (Cook refereed). Meanwhile, Hammersmit­h light-heavy Zaxo had Jevgenijs Andrejevs reeling with clubbing rights but couldn’t quite finish the southpaw Latvian veteran (Coakley refereed).

Hayes super-lightweigh­t Jack Newham looked ahead on points when, in the last of four rounds, a left hook from Newark’s Fonz Alexander sent him crashing face down, his nose bleeding. Referee Cook waved it off immediatel­y and after medical attention Newham was all right, albeit extremely upset at losing his unbeaten record. Only one minute 14 seconds remained.

Two more fours brought 40-37 verdicts from Mr Coakley in favour of Neasden lightweigh­t Jerome Campbell, who showed a good left jab against awkward Dean Evans of Hereford; and Strood heavyweigh­t Louie Darlin, who outworked Grantham debutant Miles Newton Willington.

THE VERDICT Pauls is ready to move up a level.
