In the main event of the show, local middleweight (up to 72.6 kg) Denzel Bentley (17-1-1, 14 KOs) defended the title of British champion in a confrontation with his compatriot
Marcus Morrison (25-6, 16 KOs).
The fighters offered the fans a furious action. The champion got hit in the starting round – the ropes saved him from falling. Bentley not only withstood the blow, but also managed to answer Morrison before the end of the three-minute period.
From the 2nd round, the champion began to attack even more aggressively. The applicant’s nose was bleeding at first, but soon his whole face turned into a continuous bloody mess. The fighters took a short pause in the 3rd round, and in the 4th three-minute coach Morrison intervened and stopped the fight.
Too sharp from @2Sharp_d

Ex-light heavyweight Spellman continued to put pressure on Zorro. First he shook him in the 6th round, then completely seized the initiative – the favorite failed to correctly distribute his forces for the entire fight, got tired, slowed down. Nevertheless, he pulled himself together and boxed well in the final round.
The referee gave the victory to the favorite with a score of 77-74.
Zorro PTS 8.

Apparently, he never recovered – in the next three minutes he was brutally knocked out. Beautiful and creepy at the same time.
