Nottingham Arena, Nottingham, UK. In the main event of the show, the world champion in the low-prestige version of the IBO local lightweight (up to 61.2 kg) Maxi Hughes
(26-5-2, 5 KOs) snatched victory from the ex-champion two divisions below his compatriot Kid Galahead
(28-3, 17 KOs).

The challenger started the fight well: he confused by constant change of stances, jabbed well, controlled the distance. The champion tried to impose power boxing, hard pressing behind a high block.

Galahed often tied his opponent’s hands, dangerously walked forward with his head, which not only Hughes, but also the referee did not like – he first warned, and then fined him in the 10th round.

The fight turned out to be as competitive as possible, everything was decided by a foul of Galahed. Judges score: 116-111, 114-114 and 114-113.
