NORTHAMPTON'S DAVID
KEHOE (9st 13 l/21bs) won
his second fight in a row to
remain unbeaten when he outpointed
PAUL SALMON (9st 12
l/4lbs) of Plymouth in a lightweight
six-twos.

WEST HAM middleweight
prospect STEVE ROBERTS
(11st 4 l/2Ibs) had a bad night,
but came through his six-threes
against Plymouth's PETER
VOSPER (11st eibs) with his
undefeated record intact.
Referee Marcus McDonnell
scored 59 1/2-58 1/2.

A dreadful match was
allowed to slip through
the net as Coventry
prospect RICHARD EVATT
(8st 131bs) demolished
WAYNE JONES (9st 41bs) of
Saltash in the second of a
scheduled six-twos.
The Devon man's weight
advantage, and the fact that
he had lasted the six-round
distance with Michael
Wright in February, cannot
make up for his NINE previous
early defeats.
Evatt, by contrast, had
won all his three pro fights
inside the distance after an
amateur career that saw
him win the 1993 ABA bantamweight
title and also
represent Young England.
The action was utterly
predictable. The shorter
Evatt came out in the first
crouching low before letting
go lefts and rights over
the top of the upright
Jones' loose guard.
Wayne had no snap or
power to keep Evatt off,
and a big right shook him
before the same shot made
him sink to one knee by the
ropes where he took a
count of seven.
The bell rang before
Richard could follow up in
that round, but there was no
place for Jones to hide in
the second. A left-right put
Jones down on one knee in
a neutral comer, smd
although he rose at seven, a
crunching right hander
dumfied him in the same
comer just seconds later.
This time referee Marcus
McDonnell waved it over
straight away without bothering
to pick up the count.
The time was 1-58, and it
was announced as a TKO.
Jones needed help
before he could get up, and
the way he limped over to
Evatt's corner to offer congratulations
showed that he
had injured his right leg
going down.

IN the six-twos showopener,
South
Shields' useful DEAN
NICHOLAS stretched his
unbeaten run to five at
the expense of Liverpool
veteran JOHN SMITH.
This was officiated by trialist
referee John
McKnight with Len
Mullen scoring it 59-58
1/2 to the Geordie.
The 36-year-oId southpaw
Scouser, who has
seen and done it all in
over 70 campaigns, made
Nicholas work hard for
the victory with a dangerous
over the top right
Dean's best punch. Both
men scaled lOst 4 l/2Ibs.
