Booth Beats Moran Via Bad Cut To Capture British Title
By Mark Vester
At the Indoor Sports Centre in Leigh, Lancashire, Jason Booth (32-5, 13KOs) won the vacant BBBofC British super bantamweight title after Mark Moran (11-1, 3KOs) was unable to continue due to a bad cut. Booth was doing well in the first half of the fight. The two clashed heads in the sixth round, opening a bad cut on Moran, who struggled to get off with his punches in the fight.
Booth took over the fight in the third, banging away to the body and head of Moran. The deep cut above Moran's left eye from the clash of heads in the sixth, left him unable to continue and the fight was stopped.
"I don't believe that! I put it down to experience and I he gave me loads of time and I was getting my shots off and he was not liking my tactics. That head clash was an accident, it wasn't intentional. I was planning a really hard night's work and all this hard training has paid off and with a bit of luck things work out your way - this is boxing for you," Booth told Sky Sports.
