Heavyweight Arslanbek Makhmudov (21-2 (19) beat David "White Rhino" Allen (24-8-2 (19) in a 12-round unanimous decision on Saturday night at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England. Makhmudov came out swinging in the first round, but Allen hit him with a left hook to the jaw that knocked him back a step. Allen hit Makhmudov below the belt in the second round, which gave him time to recover. He came back with a strong round over Allen. Makhmudov hit Allen more in the third round, but Allen finished stronger than Makhmudov. Allen fought back brilliantly in the fourth round and won it by a narrow margin. Referee Steve Gray cautioned Makhmudov twice in the fifth round for holding, which he did numerous times while he was punching. Allen had a good round. Makhmudov outlands Allen in the sixth round, but Allen finishes better at the end. Makhmudov was winning the seventh round, but when referee Gray removed a point from him, he grabbed Allen again and held him. In the eighth round, Allen seemed to be ahead since he was continually moving forward, but Makhmudov could hit Allen more before capturing him. In the ninth round, Allen knocked Makhmudov's mouthpiece out early. Makhmudov was in trouble at the close of the round after Allen hit him with an overhand right and then six more shots. In the tenth round, Allen hit Makhmudov on the chin with an overhand right, hurting him with a minute left. In the eleventh round, both fighters had their moments, but Allen injured Makhmudov multiple times. In the last round, the referee removed another point from Makhmudov for pressing Allen into the ropes and not letting him go. Allen hurt him in the last minute, aiming for a knockout, maybe because he was behind on points. Allen had a good round. The scores were 115 to 111, 116 to 110, and 117 to 109. In a fight full of fouls, super featherweight Josh Padley (17-1 (5) upset former British and Commonwealth champion Reece "Bomber" Bellotti (20-7 (15) by a 10-round majority decision to claim the WBA International title. There was too much clinching in the first four rounds. Bellotti had a small advantage. In the fifth round, Bellotti hit Padley in the chin with a right cross, then hit him in the body with a right. Padley came back with a lead in the seventh and eighth rounds. Bellotti drew blood from Padley's nose in the ninth round, which was too close and included too much clinching. In the tenth and last round, both fighters were mixing it up when they weren't clinching. Bellotti began off well but slowed down for the rest of the race. The scores could have been closer, though. The judges gave scores of 99-92, 97-93, and 97-93. The referee was Bob Williams. Before the following battle, they honored the late Ricky "Hit Man" Hatton, a former world champion who was well-liked by fans. In a rematch after their first fight ended in a draw in January, Junaid Bostan (10-1-1 (8) lost a 10-round majority decision to Bilal "The Machine" Fawaz (10-1-1 (3) in a fight for the vacant BBBofC English welterweight title. Fawaz looked astonished when he found out he had won, which is interesting. Fawaz, the aggressor, leaves his body open for Bostan to hit in the first round, with his hands up. Michael Alexander, the referee, told Fawaz not to hit him in the back of the head. Both of them received a cut on their right eyebrow from a head-on collision in the second round. Fawaz hit Bostan hard on the chin with a right hand in the last few seconds of the third round, hurting him. Bostan wounded Fawaz with a combination to the chin in the middle of the fourth round. In the fifth round, things kept going, and Bostan's mouth started to bleed in the last minute. Fawaz was performing well in the sixth round until the last minute, when his mouthpiece was knocked out. He ended stronger and doesn't have his hands up anymore. Bostan won the seventh round by finishing strong. Fawaz had the upper hand in the eighth round. The fight went back and forth in the ninth round, but Bostan finished strong. The fight is still up for grabs in the tenth and last round. It was a good round for both of them. Fawaz hugged Bostan from behind, but Bostan didn't want anything to do with him. Another tie between them? The scores were 95-95, 96-94, and 96-95. Hamza Uddin (6-0 (3) stopped Paul Roberts (7-7-2 (2) at 2:14 of the fifth round of a planned 10 rounds for the vacant BBBofC English Flyweight and WBA International titles. Uddin worked more than Roberts in the opening round, but he did some showboating at the conclusion. Roberts had a cut on his right eyebrow early in the second round from a left hook from Uddin. Uddin's hand speed proved too much for Roberts in the third and fourth rounds. Uddin knocked Roberts down to one knee three times with left punches to the stomach in the fifth round. Referee Michael Alexander stopped the fight. Ibraheem Sulaimaan, a super featherweight southpaw with a record of 9-0 (4), beat James Chereji, who had a record of 22-7 (10), in an eight-round points decision. Sulaimaan taught Chereji how to box with his hands and feet throughout the first four rounds, making it hard for Chereji to land many blows. Chereji finally hit Sulaimaan hard on the chin with a right hand in the first minute of the fifth round. Sulaimaan then hit back with a combination. Sulaimaan had a slight cut on his right eyebrow in the seventh round, but he was in charge of the round. Sulaimaan kept winning every round, but he showed off a little in the last two rounds. The score from referee Steve Gray was 80-72. Light Heavyweight Conner Tudsbury (3-0 (2) knocked out Khalid Graidia (13-16-5 (4) at 0:58 of the fourth round of a scheduled six rounds. Tudsbury hit his opponent with six unanswered punches in the middle of the second round. Tudsbury hit Graidia three times in the body in the first minute of the fourth round. Graidia was hurt, but he launched a punch and walked away, giving up when Referee Michael Alexander waived it off. Joe Howarth, who weighs 14-1 (4), beat Karl Sampson, who weighs 9-60-1 (1), by a six-round points decision. Sampson, who came in late as a sub, does what he does best in the first three rounds: make his opponent seem good. His record reveals it as a "record builder." Howarth keeps pursuing Sampson and hitting him more often with a jab in the fourth through sixth rounds since Sampson's resistance is so strong. Michael Alexander, the referee, gave it a score of 60-54. Joe Hayden, who fights at welterweight, won a six-round points decision over Angelo Dragone. In the opening round, Dragone pushed Hayden, who was taller, against the ropes. In the second round, referee Steve Gray told Dragone twice to stop hitting on the break and twice to stop using his head. In the third round, Dragone did well, even if Hayden had a tiny edge. Hayden knocked Dragone down with a left to the chin in the first minute of the fourth round. Referee Gray counted to eight. Hayden had looked sharp going after Dragone in the fifth and sixth rounds. Steve Gray, the referee, gave it a score of 60-53.
