ALWAY fighter Craig Woodruff won the British Masters super-featherweight title with a stunning sixth-round knockout victory over Merthyr’s Dai Davies at the Newport Centre last night as St Joseph’s star Frankie Borg claimed the Welsh middleweight belt.
Borg beat Bargoed’s Gary Cooper, who was withdrawn by his corner after six brutal rounds.
Also on the Warrior Promotions bill there was an impressive first round stoppage win for Newport’s Jerome Samuels against Cardiff’s Tom Price.
Swansea’s Jay Harris beat Brett Fidoe 40-36 on points and Pontypridd’s 2010 Commonwealth Games bronze medallist Jermaine Asare beat Danny Mitchell 39-36 on his pro debut.
And Cardiff pair Craig Kennedy and Peter Ashton, both trained by ex-world champ Steve Robinson, also enjoyed comprehensive points victories.
Kennedy beat former cage fighter and boxing novice Will Birkin 60-55, while Ashton overpowered Matt Seawright on his pro debut.
