Dudley's Ryan Aston blasts out the Bulgarian

The home-town hero headlined at the Venue on Saturday night and left the European visitor well-beaten, six rounds into a scheduled 10.

'Tank' rolled over his 19-year-old opponent, who was halted for only the second time, in timely fashion with only 10 seconds of the round left.

Nenkov had already been floored with a booming right hook on the turn earlier in the session, which sent him careering into a neutral corner and to the canvas.

Aston nearly punched himself out as he attempted to follow up but Nenkov eventually crumbled again, taking a knee after absorbing a barrage of stiff body shots.

He rose again but had no interest in further punishment, his demeanour forcing referee Shaun Messer to wave for an end to the contest.

Nenkov had gone the distance with Rowley Regis' Jason Welborn at Walsall Town Hall last month, with the British title contender looking on from ringside for this one.

Tipton's Ricky Summers had to dig deep after an early onslaught to overcome Luke Allon in a tough chief support six-rounder.

Summers was stepping back up to light heavyweight and felt the added power of Allon early on, shaking off a super-stiff straight left in the first round.

He was forced onto the back-foot after taking a big right hook in the second round, before he woke up and became the aggressor.

Summers backed up Allon in the ropes and let his hands go, wearing him down with hooks to the body. It gave him heart for the rest of the fight.

Those early shots proved a distant memory as he ended the fight coming forward, Allon standing off and waiting for the final bell after his big chances had come and gone.

Referee Gareth Morris discarded the danger of the opening salvo, scoring Summers the winner of every round by 60-54 at the final bell.

Coseley's Ryan Corrigan battled to bounce back from his first professional defeat with a hard-fought victory over Harvey Hemsley.

Nearly three months on from a damaging first-round defeat to Mark Morris in Northern Ireland, the 22-year-old super featherweight was ready to return to the ring.

He was given no time to get back into his groove by Hemsley, who bombed over swinging from the opening bell looking to cause an upset.

Corrigan wasted nothing in a spirited response as his right hooks constantly rocked Hemsley's head back, dropping just a share in just one of the four rounds for a 40-37 points win with Messer.

Birmingham's Paul Holt recorded a 40-36 points shut-out over stable-mate Michael Mooney, who stepped in at just two hours notice.

The game Mooney was at a wedding when he was summoned to the Venue to compete over four rounds at lightweight, under the supervision of Morris.

Boxing was the only winner in the night's opening bout, as Bloxwich's Luke Paddock was put through his paces by Brummie Ainsley Sievwright in an exhibition.

The two stylists put on a show for the audience, Morris again the man in the middle, as they kept ticking over before their next contest.
