Ryan Aston shuts out Lee Noble

Dudley's Ryan Aston made it six wins out of six in front of the cameras on the Sky Sports bill in Sheffield.

Aston won every session of his six-rounder against Lee Noble at the Motorpoint Arena, before Kell Brook's wide win over Matthew Hatton.

The 21-year-old, who took in his birthday on March 7, was a comfortable winner with referee Michael Alexander awarding him every round.

Sky Sports' punch stats showed he out punched Noble by 59-11 over the duration of their middleweight contest on Saturday night.

Noble is an enigmatic boxer. He has caused upsets, as Birmingham's Thomas Costello can testify after being held to a draw.

But the 24-year-old can be guilty of becoming disinterested and Aston soon had him on the defensive with his solid combinations.

As early as the second round, Noble's corner man was shouting "do something Lee," as his opponent was put under no pressure.

Aston, his hands dangling by his waist, took the chance to show off his full repertoire of punches.

'Tank' whipped in uppercuts and rocked Noble, stopped only twice in 36 previous fights, onto his heels late in the fourth with a southpaw left hand.

Then Aston upped the pace in the last round to leave Noble marked under his right eye by the final bell.
