Tipton's Lee Glover slices and dices for title

Tipton's Lee Glover sliced open and dropped Andy Harris to take the British Masters super featherweight title at Walsall Town Hall tonight.

'The Tipton Slasher' proved true to his moniker as he bloodied his co-challenger, to force the finish in the sixth round of a scheduled 10.

Harris had no answer to the left hook of Glover as he was crumpled to the mat in the fourth from a hook, a signal the end was coming.

It was the fitting end to a knock-out night, where all but one of the four fights ended by stoppage with only Grant Cunningham's contest going the distance.

The undefeated super middleweight from Moss Pit in Stafford saw off Welshman Jamie Ambler on points after four rounds, by a 40-37 margin.

Fellow Stafford fighter Rob Hunt made a statement on his return to the ring, after falling to a KO defeat at the same venue to Steven Pearce last year.

The welterweight opened like a house on fire against normally-durable journeyman Jason Nesbitt, forcing him to retire at the end of the second round.

Hunt used his height advantage to fire off the jab and big bombs followed which bamboozled Nesbitt, who decided enough was enough by the finish.

Halesowen's Lennox Clarke needed less than a round to knock-out Joe Walsh, who failed to beat the count after a right uppercut to the solar plexus took him out.
