Fight night on the zone brought to you by that prize guy. Farmboy kicks us off just after 7:00. Shakil Thompson, one of the most dangerous middleweights around is back against Grant Dennis. Ty Gallagher, Ellie Hel, British Commonwealth and WBO International super banterweight titles on the line. Good fight that. Then Grenice Krauss who uh Oscar was mentioning earlier one of the most dangerous prospects around from Holland in with Scott Murray one of our best amateurs of recent years and then the big one Ben Crocker and Sha Mcco really interesting clash of styles from the IBF European Super Lightweight Championship. It’s a fantastic night ahead live on the zone on the app against Jose Manuel Perez who’s won two of his last threes. Normally a journeyman from Costa Rica, but he sprung a couple of upsets on young noviceses. So Hardy just needs to be careful early. Had the first slight step up of his career. I was actually talking to Sunny Edwards in Belfast recently when we was over for the Patty Donovan team and he mentioned that Casey wants to move Ed and said we won’t rush him but we also won’t hold back. Good body shots whipped in early by vicious in the ring. You ask the sparred with him and he sparred a lot of top fighters. See there he whips in combinations especially downstairs to the body. He finds those angles well. any respect and just wary of what’s coming to him. He’s not as quick as Hardy or as talented and that’s a nice body shot planted beautifully by Hardy from these wy sorts who’ve had more professional fights around the globe and that’s exactly what Sunny Edwards will be looking at in managing Ed through this good body shots and upping the tempo here in the third. Yeah, lovely. Well, Perez will know how to tuck up at times and get through bad spells. So, must be clever here. Hardy. The right hand. His work to the body. Definitely troubling Perez. Very, very focused center ring. Real glance down at his corner there. Jose Manuel Perez. Uppercut. Body shot from Hardy. Best shot of the fight. And he really felt that Perez and he had to dig in. And Ed Harley looks so strong right in front of us. 20 seconds left in the third. And I think Jos Manuel Perez is going to go back to his corner. A wounded man. There’s the uppercut. Perez is trying to hang in, but again he glances down at his corner team. Hardy will just keep coming with the body shots. Those 10 knockouts were a while ago as well for Perez. He’s trying, but he doesn’t seem to have the firepower to keep the farm boy at bay. Hands up, says Po. Hands up. Caught a few too many times. So while they’ve got to match him a little bit harder on each occasion, you can’t get too gung-ho hardy as much as he wants to get the knockout win and excite the fans. Not just one of the hottest talents, but he’s um he’s a different character, isn’t he? We don’t have many farmers in boxing, so there’s a whole community that he can access. I know they come far and wide sometimes. Here he goes, Hardy. This ups the tempo. So does Joseé Manuel Perez survives, but he’s uh not upsetting this prospect. Ed Hardy fighting to the final bell, giving value for money. After six rounds of boxing, we go to John Leam scorecard which reads 60 points to 54 points in favor of your winner from Doncastaster, Yorkshire Edo Hardy. 14 fights. He’s had to have a day job Monday to Friday, a 9 to5. He’s been running early in the morning, training late at night, but now he can concentrate on business for real, which I think is really good news for the boxing scene. Josh Warrington, who was at ringside earlier. Yeah, I think we’ve seen the first example there of how these front feet, the South Orthodox stance could could clash, could overlap. And we saw Shaq just as he took that right hand from Grant Dennis stumble back a little. I know those feet those feet might be getting quite tangled. See it again in that extra between the pair. There was a lot of talk about a potential shot at Janbeck a few months ago which would have been eye watering really from the jump up in levels. Team decided not to take it and you never know boxing. There’s a bloody shot though from Shaq Thompson. A Dennis has to go down. It was beautifully placed. I’m not sure he’s going to make it. He’s going to be counted out here. Wincing in pain. Shack Thompson with his 11th stoppage. And it’s 15 and0. And this guy has got to get a big turtle shot soon. He’s a middleweight that has power, has speed, has skill. He’s a selfpore. Give him a chance. And power in both hands, too. What a brilliant body shot from Shaquille Thompson. You mentioned that Grant Dennis might have a bit of a patchy record of recent, but people do not. This contest comes to an end. Official time, 1 minute and 43 seconds of round number two. Your winner by knockout from Sheffield, Dr. Steel, Shakil Thompson. against Ellie Help from Yorkshire who’s a neat and tidy boxer. Gallagher with more experience, more seasoned forward at a higher level, very good amateur and uh a real star on the scene as well, but hella well with the chance to change her world. Right. That’s one fight we tried to forget. But um you know, not a lot came from the opponent. So I think to make sure you win the round, c do something that the judges see, faint, go forward, and be the be the aggressor when the fight there’s not a lot happening. I think the judges tend to favor the fighter that is, you know, forcing the fight. Can’t quite get her jab established yet. Dicey Gallagher. That’s good work from Helowell. Just more accurate with counters here. Obviously the awkwardness of a southpaw. You got to take that jab away from her. Well been patiently waiting. She’s letting the one two there go. She’s keeping Ty on the end of them shots. Ty has got to take them shots away from her and get inside. Like there she’s she’s starting to let him go more here. Yeah, that’s better from Ty Gallagher. And the right hand just trying to get hold of that middle of the ring body shot as well. better from Gallagher. A real difficult place to drag yourself back in to a fight. That’s good work this from Ty Gallagher in and out. Good left hand exchanging punches, but Gallagher looking the boss at the moment and just might have that higher level experience as the rounds go on. Hel the two women well matched. It looks like the Orthodox and the Southpaw. Close first round. Maybe Hel nicked it. Here definitely won the second and Gallagher definitely won the third. Gallagher comes back. How many of those actually landed? This is a tough job for the judges. These two rounds sprint by. Good right hands from Gallagher. Just might catch their eye. Gallagher’s definitely landing the meteor bigger eye catching shots. What other judges favor in Ellie Wells’s little nip and tuck chipping away at her? We saw Crocker Donovan in Belfast, didn’t we? What you like the power shots of Crocker or the neater boxing of Donovan been talking and there’s there’s hopes there. Terry Harper of course has just gone there. She topped your bill in in Doncaster and so the magic’s happening and it’s fantastic to see for the women. It is especially of a dad of girls as well. Good work from Helowell there. Gallagher just looks a bit disorganized for a moment. Back she comes. Good shots coming back there. Yeah, lovely work from Dye Gallagher. Just found her range to those F. She’s so quick in and out. Look at the concentration on her face as well. She’s scanning LOL. She knows her every move. Just a split second before she’s about to make it. She’s an excellent fighter, Ty Gallagher. She really is. No knockouts on the record, but she’s got a good jab, a very, very good boxing brain. And you see her legs, her feet working so hard. So much. Someone get a curry. There you go. Where’s our curry? We before and after this. Well, we got the produce from the farm from Ed Hardy. That’s some good right hand from Ty Gallagher. And just looking a bit more powerful now, a bit stronger. And it’s all of that. Absolutely. I think if Scott Nicholl clears up, you know, you think what’s she got left to what she got left to do at that weight. Good work again from both women. Hel trying to dig deep here. Countering shots from Gallingu. Continues to move beautifully around the southpaw clockwise. Remember Barrera doing it to Naz. Really good work from Chicy Gallagher. Lovely. Hol with a cluster. Go again. They’re saying Jason with the team. Yeah, it’s like these rounds fly by. And I think they’re reaching I don’t want to use the word desperation, but they’re reaching the point now where they know that look, Ellie’s got to pull something out of the bag. So, they’re going to invite her forward. for the last 20 seconds. Ellie Hero will come on from this 10 rounder. No question about that. She’s done ever so well and trying desperately hard later on. But Tyson Gallagher has put a performance in to remind the world how good she is. She’s had a really difficult 2025. And that is the sweet victory for the first lady. Tracy Gallagher shines in Sheffield. After 10 rounds of championship action, we go to the judges scorecards. George Howard Foster scores the contest 97- 93. Judge Phil Edwards scores this contest 98- 93. And Judge John Laam scores this contest 97- 94. All three in favor of your winner. And still British and Commonwealth super bantamweight champion from Luton Bedfordshire, the first lady, Ty Gallagher. 15 fights between them, 11 knockouts. There’s a hug for his mentor Peter Fury. Gratis Krauss into this cruiserweight contest. He’s one of the hottest light heavyweight prospects in the world. How will he do against the big guy, Scott Forest, who was meant to be fighting in Dubai tonight, that fell through, so he’s answered the call here. He’s in great shape. He really fancies it. But can he deal with the speed, the angles, and the power of Krauss? Good uppercut from Krauss who looks relaxed and flowing. Maxi [Applause] goes for it inside the opening minute and his leg got tucked on the ropes as well, which didn’t help him. But he’s down. He was stopped in a round against Ariel Ignat last time out. Can Krauss do it again. Gish Krauss, who’s got four first round stoppage victories already. Could this be a fifth body shot? Forest is trying to fight on instinct and throw a couple of hay makers and says, “Come on.” And Krauss does. It’s so brave this from the Scotsman. He’s been beaten to the punch, but every punch he’s being beaten to is a damaging one, too. He’s definitely more unsteady on the legs than he was even 30 seconds ago. And that nose is trickling the blood. There was one to the tempo I was mentioning earlier. And another one. And Forest. Let’s just go again. And Prow trying, but Forest back with a couple of hooks. Drama here in Sheffield. You can’t take your eyes off it. There’s the shots that his corner is asking there. He’s trying to come up and over and around the guard. Oh, he’s walked onto one there. Morris Krauss shakes his head and that’s what we wanted to see. One on the chin. Nobody’s want to freely give him an opportunity. Have they? It’s a bit like Shaquille Thompson we saw earlier. It’s just a bit of a danger to fight him. Here he comes again. Crouch hurts Forest. A minute 20 left in the round. Can he do it here and now in the fifth round? Referee looking closely. Forest he’s gone on his feet there. His legs are gone there. He’s looking for the corner. I think he should be stopped. Yeah, he’s no need in taking any more unnecessary punishment. His legs went there. I don’t think this is where you need a brave corner and a brave referee. He needs saving for another one. Stop it here. Stop it. You can see him banging down his chest. I think he wants to clean shots. 20 seconds left in the round the eye as well. He’s taking unnecessary punishment here. There is no point. And I and I think that the referee and the corner. You’ve got to think about their warrior. Another right hand. His legs are gone. There’s an opportunity. And another one. He’s He’s a proud man. He’ll want to He’ll want to see that final bell. But here’s the ass on his feet. I think he’s also [Music] after six rounds of boxing. We go to Reese Cartright. Scorecard, which reads 60 points to 53 points in favor of your winner from the Netherlands, [Music] Gradles, the greatest. [Applause] Keeps it simple though in the corner. And I had a good chat with him last night and he said, “Look, if Ben can box and can do what I ask him to and doesn’t get too aggressive, makes it more like a chess match, he’s got a better chance.” Shan Mcome has proved himself on the world stage. Two very good boxers. Who is going to get the edge early? Yeah, Crocker was good second half for that. It was uh a bit split at ringside that draw at your call. It was entertaining. Right hand from Crocker. But I agree with the real [Applause] from Ben Crocker and Galos Mone inside the first round. What a shot from the Welshman. And what a an upset we could have here. Big underdog. Left up. Time that perfect. Makum with a mounds down. Like I said, a little bit too loose in shoulders and he walks straight onto that one. Yeah, he’s a brilliant counter puncher. He values not getting hit. My first thought about this bike was how approach. Now Croc is hurt. Mcome catches him. 20 seconds left in what started as a bit of a chess match and has suddenly exploded. Was not what I had on my bingo card. But sprung this fight into life now. And Than’s got a job in his hands to turn around that early touch of the canvas. Again looking for that left hook. Ben Crocker Mcome with a combination but he’s dangerous with that shot. You can see there Crocker’s opting to go onto the back foot and again like Gallagher did earlier make sure Mcome commit drop come over that front foot and he’s trying to land that back hand and left. This is smart from Ben Crocker. There it is again. But Mcome comes back. Nice work of his own and that gave him a foothold into this second round. I think normally he likes photos to come on to him, doesn’t he? That’s another good shot from Crocker. The accuracy from the Welshman’s really good and he’s just waiting for Mcome to overextend like Pete Taylor was saying in the corner. He’s the one at the minute who’s forcing it. Yeah, nice southpaw jab from Mcome trying to back up proper now. taking some of these on his gloves, but certainly the volume from Shaw Mcome as the pair of them open up [Applause] now to try and collect that rhythm. And I can see he wants to drop on top [Music] here. [Applause] He is He’s just took three jabs on there. Just before that, he did land a right hand and I can hear Gary from the corner shout and go again. So they’re asking for that second phase. There. There it again. Oh, he has listened to the corner there. Right on. Yeah, good work from Crocker when Mcome’s open. He’s landing those shots. [Music] I think Mcome, one of you mentioned it, was woken up by the uh the knockdown and I think he’s been boxing really sensibly behind that jam. Not letting Crocker near him enough. No, I think Cro Crocker has let him get away with that early knockdown. He let him recover and he let him get a foot back all in. Still open at times Mcome. So there is that possibility of another crunching shot from Crocker, but he’s only got four minutes to find it. After 10 rounds of championship boxing, we go to the scorecards. All three judges score this contest the same. 96 points to 93 points in favor of your winner. And new IVF European super lightweight champion from Ireland, the public nuisance to [Music] Welcome.

Not going to lie. That was a boring night of fight. I did like Kraus though
Scott Forrest needs to fire his Handlers. Matching him with Two fellow Amateur star/Prospects in his first 10 fights, and of course he loses to both of them being dropped hard in both fights. They should have waited until he had some more fights against tough journeymen and area level fighters, and then match both prospects down the line for a british or commonwealth title!
Was the ref kind of hanging around too much in front of the cameras? Felt like he was in the way of a lot of the action.
Robbery, knockdown and boxed his head off 😅😅
Whoever promoted this event needs sacking….💯
Absolutely shocking promotional work…..🤦🏼♂️
Shakiel Thompson is the biggest middleweight I’ve ever seen!!!!
Kraus needs to get his hands up, he was all over the shop, he needs to tighten up his game and hooks, anyone with a bit of talent would expose him quickly, if he doesn't start using his defence more, if hes capable?
Dreadful boring night of boxing, binned it off halfway through the main event, could take no more.
Cezar Yojerlin from my club boxing lyon United beat Gradus Kraus 💪💪🥊🥊
Jake Paul vs Kraus 😮!
Well not sure about the boxing, but superb cheerleading
Ngl kraus has potential to win some titles if he keeps it up
They need to stop playing the same two ads. I’m getting sick of hearing that German accent IONOS ad
96-93 all in favor of McComb imposible he drop on 1st round
