Although many will have picked Peter McGrail to defeat Brad Foster tonight (September 28) in Sheffield, few will have predicted him to do so with a body shot and end the fight as early as the second round. Yet that is exactly how and when McGrail finished proceedings, digging a left uppercut into Foster’s body at the one minute and eight seconds mark in round two.
With that, the fight was over and McGrail, a decorated former amateur star, produced the best win of his pro career against arguably his best opponent. Better yet, at a time when some were saying McGrail’s biggest weakness could be a lack of power as he moves up the levels, in stopping Foster in the manner he did McGrail showed that he has the ability to end a fight with one punch.
