The scores were 119-105 twice and 117-107.

Super welterweight Ryan Kelly, 19-6-1 (8), lost a 10-round majority decision to Caoimhin Agyarko, 17-0 (7). In the first four rounds, Agyarko had a slight edge. In the fifth round, Kelly suffered a cut on the left eyebrow. From the seventh through the tenth, Kelley came back well, but not enough to win the decision.

The scores were 97-94, 96-94, and 95-95. Victor Loughlin was the referee.

Former IBF reather champion Josh ‘The Leeds Warrior’ Warrington, 32-4-1 (8) defeated Asad Asif Khan, 19-7-1 (5), by a 10-round unanimous decision.

In the first four rounds, Warrington dominated. In the fifth round, Warrington landed a shot that cut Khan’s left eyebrow. In the sixth round’s first minute, Warrington landed a right on the chin along with a push, driving Khan to the canvas for an 8-count from referee Mark Lyson.

A minute later, Lyson took away a point from Khan for spitting out his mouthpiece. The rest of the way, Warrington dominated with good body work.

The scores were 99-89, 97-91, and 99-90.

Lightweight Josh ‘Paddy’ Padley, 16-1 (5) stopped southpaw Marko Cvetanovic, 13-1 (6) at 1:13 of the fifth of a scheduled 10 rounds.

In the fifth round’s first minute, half a dozen body shots from Padley dropped Cvetanovic for an 8-count from referee Steve Gray. Shortly later, again Padley dropped Cvetanovic with a flurry of punches. He beat the count, but referee Gray wisely called a halt.

Super featherweight Giorgio Visioli, 7-0 (6) stopped Kane Baker, 19-12-2 (1), at 0:52 of the fourth of a scheduled eight rounds.

In the fourth round, Visioli dropped Baker with a combination for an 8-count. Upon rising, referee John Latham waved it off.

Lightweight Joe Howarth, 12-1 (4), dominated in defeating Mario Vanenzuela Portillo, 8-7-2 (2), by a six-round decision.

The score was 60-54.
