Leach showed his first sign of slowing down. He didn’t throw as much, so I gave the round to Bourke.

 

Woodhall apparently cleared the crud out of his eyes for the 5th.

Leach landed a good left hand and boxed well. Bourke needs to disguise his attacks with feints if he wants to land more.

 

Salford!

Best round of the night from Bourke in round 8. He put a lot into it though with little reward. He landed a great left hand at the end of the round.
