EJKO Promotions treated fight fans to a night of high drama at Walsall Town Hall on Saturday evening (1st March).
The main events didn’t disappoint nor did the seven-fight undercard, which included a couple of surprise results.
At the top of the bill, Ryan Hardy was crowned British Masters Welterweight Champion after ten gruelling rounds of action with Stourbridge’s Steven Pearce.
Hardy started like a steam train and was full of over exuberance, showboating and unsettling Pearce early on. He caught the eye in the opening three rounds but as the fight wore on Pearce began to land cleaner shots, catching his opponent and bloodying his mouth. Surprisingly though, after earning a reputation as a ‘come-forward’ fighter the International Masters Champion seemed to switch his game plan for this fight – his fourth title bout in a row – which played into Hardy’s hands as the Sheffield scrapper landed and frustrated in equal measure.
