Kid Galahad cruised to a wide points win over Brazil's Adeilson dos Santos in a matchup of unbeaten super bantamweights Saturday evening in Sheffield, England.
Scores were 117-109, 119-107 and 120-105, in a fight that served as the chief support to a middleweight scrap between Adam Etches and Samir Santos. Both bouts aired live on Channel 5 in the United Kingdom.
Galahad scored two knockdowns on the night and had little trouble with dos Santos (14-1, 10KOs), who was fighting outside of South America for the first time in his career. The first knockdown came in the opening round, but Galahad remained disciplined, working behind his jab and content with piling up points.
The second knockdown of the fight came in round 10, serving as window dressing as Galahad was already miles ahead on the cards.
The bout marked the third straight at home for Galahad, who relocated from his birth country of Qatar when he was three years old. With the win, he advances to 18-0 (9KOs). Following the bout, Galahad called out recently crowned 122 lb. titlist Carl Frampton, though such a fight is seemingly a pipe dream for the moment.
