Lyndon Arthur got back on track by showing the Channel 5 audience what they had been missing. After controlling the proceedings from the first bell, Arthur showed the additional rancor of his own by meticulously taking down a tough Walter Sequeira, finally finishing off his Argentine opponent in the sixth round.
Under the bright lights of Bolton, Arthur did a professional job of displaying his superior skill and strength. The jab, the power and the variety of his work put Sequeira in waters she simply couldn’t swim. On his debut fight night at Wasserman Boxing, it was the perfect performance to start his journey with the promotion that will see him continue. rise to the top of the light heavyweight division.
Eyes turned to the Northeast overnight, as ‘Trojan’ Troy Williamson bullied David Benitez to a sixth-round knockout to avoid banana skin and set up a big North clash with ‘PBK’ Josh Kelly. The British super welterweight title will be on the line in December against Kelly in what promises to be one of the biggest fights in the North East.
Gavin Gwynne retained his British lightweight title with an incredibly entertaining draw against Craig Woodruff. The momentum of the fight often changed from one fighter to the next, ultimately becoming too close for the judges to try and call a winner. Both men shone as the two Welsh fighters represented their country and sport in a fight that divided the crowd as to who had won, but unanimously wowed everyone.
