Fisher vs Allen 2: Undercard results

Dave Allen just beat Johnny Fisher by knockout to avenge their controversial first fight in Saudi Arabia last year . But this was not the only action tonight as three other all-British showdowns stacked the undercard and they did not dissapoint.
Here was happened in the supporting acts for Fisher vs Allen 2.
Jimmy Sains vs Gideon Onyenani
Jimmy Sains claimed his first professional belt, comfortably outpointing a durable Gideon Onyenani to win the Southern Area Title.
The four-time amateur national champion boxed with knockout intent from the opening bell, throwing fast jabs followed up by accurate combinations. But Onyenani came to fight and looked to close the distance to Sains, using his physicality to push the Brentwood man back to the ropes.
Through the first half of the fight, Sains had already banked himself a comfortable lead by picking off Onyenani as he charged in, made easier by the fact that fighter from Kent did not cover his approach with any punches.
The new Southern Area champion continued his good work into the final stanzas of the fight, landing heavy 1-2s and using his left hook to great effect. Onyenani's corner loudly urged him to press the action and come forward, which he obliged - but it was not enough as Sains proved himself as the more well-rounded boxer, able to outbox his opponent on the inside and at range.
Kieron Conway vs Gerome Warburton
Kieron Conway defended his British and Commonwealth title in emphatic fashion, forcing the corner of Gerome Warburton to throw in the towel in the fourth round.
The first three rounds were all-action with the pair going toe-to-toe exchanging volleys of multi-shot combinations up close. The writing was on the wall however as Conway would have the better of almost all of these back-and-forths - landing cleaner and heavier shots.
Warburton did his best to impose himself on the British and Commonwealth champion but Conway's ability to make 'The Bread Maker' miss by an inch and make him pay with viscous body shots saw Warburton start to struggle.
As the fourth round progressed, Conway had Warburton backed into a corner and found a home for a looping left hook around the elbow of the challenger, which sent him to the ropes. The Northampton native thought the fight might have been over then, taking a momentary pause before unloading three more punches to Warburton. His corner had seen enough and threw in the towel.
George Liddard dispatched Aaron Sutton with a fifth-round stoppage, scoring three knockdowns on his way to victory.
The 22-year-old put on a display of lights-out power, putting Sutton on the Canvas in the first minute of the fight with a picture-perfect left-hook. It looked to be a flash knockdown as Sutton seemed to have all of his faculties and quickly resumed as if nothing had happened.
The Bristol fighter showed incredible heart to stay in the fight, but he did not have enough to deter Liddard who relentlessly pursued his man and landed a vicious overhand right, flooring Sutton again in the second round.
After the second knockdown the former Southern Area champ never really recovered and could not put a dent in Liddard who donned a cheeky grin as he slowly dismantled Sutton.
The assault continued into the fifth and what would be the final round of the fight. Liddard looked unphased by the punches coming his way, absorbing or avoiding the best that Sutton had before landing a right hook on the inside that put an end to the fight as the corner threw in the towel.

Once tipped for a rapid ascent to full world honours, the Tokyo 2020 champion now faces a significant rebuilding job."[Rodriguez] was relentless tonight. Yafai couldn't have got into a worse start but I'm so proud of him," Yafai's promoter, Eddie Hearn, said. Fast start from Rodriguez sets the tone Rodriguez burst out of the blocks, rattling the champion early and buckling Yafai's legs with a sharp left uppercut. Yafai struggled to fully recover as Rodriguez's quick hands continued to find the mark through the early rallied in the fourth, landing clean with his backhand, but was hampered by blood pouring from a cut above his left eye. Rodriguez also suffered a cut later in the Birmingham fighter – who cruised past Sunny Edwards in November – looked second-best throughout, his body language offering little encouragement to the home crowd. He frequently dabbed at the eye and found it difficult to match Rodriguez's had his fired-up corner roaring in the seventh when Yafai was floored, although it was ruled a slip. The damage, however, had already been done earlier in the round, with the 31-year-old away fighter landing a flurry of punches. A crisp straight right and uppercut connected in the eighth, with Yafai showing heart and toughness to stay in the fight. Both men were inspected by doctors before the ninth due to cuts, but it was Rodriguez who continued to dominate, hurting Yafai again as blood stained the referee's the championship rounds, Yafai looked increasingly resigned to his fate. A clean left-right combination dropped him in the 12th. He rose with a wry, deflated smile before moments later leaving the ring without giving a post-fight interview.A world title shot against Japan's unified champion Kenshiro Teraji had seemed within touching distance but instead Yafai's dream of becoming an Olympic and world champion is paused for now."He failed on the hurdle to elite level and that's sometimes what happens. He'd only had nine fights," Hearn added. 'The new Katie Taylor' stars on debut Earlier, Britain's Tiah Mai Ayton announced herself to the professional ranks in style by stopping Hungary's Sara Orszagi in a ferocious "the next Katie Taylor" by Hearn, the 18-year-old super-bantamweight rocked Orszagi with crisp right hands from the opening dropped her in the third, then ended it seconds later with a clean shot. As the referee waved the fight off, a smiling Ayton strutted back to her corner, poking her tongue out to her team."Eddie's been bigging me up, so I had to show what I'm about," said Bristol's Ayton, a flawless 21-0 as an amateur.A beaming Hearn added: "She's born for this. She's built for this. She's a special talent."On a strong night for Matchroom's prospects, Manchester's 2024 Olympian Pat Brown secured his second professional win with a brutal second-round stoppage of Croatia's Ivan Duka. A sharp right hook to the body, followed by a thudding left hook and a crisp left uppercut brought an early end to Duka's 25, will be back in the ring in just two weeks' time on 5 July in on the card, super-bantamweight Peter McGrail earned a hard-fought majority decision over Romania's Ionut Baluta, and British welterweight champion Conah Walker retained his belt with a seventh-round stoppage win over Liam Taylor.
