Aaron McKenna, DEC
This kid isn’t gonna be the first to put this cab away. Decision

Virgo vs. McCauley
Idris Virgo, DEC
He'll get through Kevin McCauley but quite frankly, Idris Virgo is a bum himself who can only beat journeyen. As soon as he fights somone with more wins than losses on their record, he's gonna be in trouble.

An excellent patient, but relentless walk down of Ashley Theophane by Sam Eggington this evening who made his natural size, reach, youth, ability and power pay dividends as I thought he would, should and could against a fighter who had stated before the contest that it was definitely his last pro bout... Eggington worked the body well and used his energy both efficiently and effectively to get the Stoppage in Round 6 with a powerful crunching Body Shot that put Theophane down and out... What a great servant to Boxing Ashley Theophane has been, especially travelling the world to take fights promoting the sport of Boxing... Eggington meanwhile has now retired both Paulie Mallinaggi and Ashley Theophane... He needs to rematch Ted Cheeseman in the next year if available and push towards European level within the Super Welterweight Division and personally I think he is capable of Winning at that level when the time is right, depending on the opponent of course... The British Title at Super Welterweight is also a possibility too 🤔🤓🥊👊👍

I truly think that Jordan Grannum will be stopped for the first time this evening when facing young prospect Aaron McKenna... Grannum hasn't been stopped in 79 Pro Fights previously, but there is always a first time 🤓🤔🥊👊👍

As predicted, Aaron McKenna 'The Silencer' just put on a very clinical performance against a very tough, durable journeyman in Jordan Grannum, who had never been stopped before tonight... A punch perfect performance this evening from the young Irishman, who trains out in LA at the Wildcard Gym (USA) with Freddie Roach... He was at least 3 - 4 levels above his opponent's level this evening and the Boxing World is his oyster... A tremendous achievement to stop Grannum this evening and I expect a similar devastating performance from his brother Stevie this evening, who I don't expect to allow his opponent MJ Hall to see the 3rd Round... The McKenna Brothers are future World Champions in the making, so long as they are not pushed too quickly and stay dedicated to the sport, which I am sure they will 🤓🤔🥊👊👍

An excellent effort by Matthew J Hall this evening showing pure heart, grit, determination to try and complete the full 6 Rounds against Stevie McKenna, who was unfortunately stopped by McKenna towards the end of the 5th Round, with the Referee basically protecting the welfare of Hall, who had taken an accumulative 5 Round beating off McKenna, who definitely came into the bout to stop Hall within 1 - 2 Rounds... Hall gave McKenna some much needed Rounds in the end, but was beaten to the punch throughout and I do believe McKenna carries quite a lot of power for his weight division and he and his brother have bright futures in the sport of Boxing ahead of them 🤓🤔🥊👊👍
