Switching-hitting early and showing off his reactions.
Jab working nicely for Parker, finding home as Alexander just walks forward.
YES HE MCCAN

The future looks bright for the young bantamweight.

McCANN VS MORENO
The fight goes the full eight rounds and it was all class from McCann, who bossed the action behind his jab.
He rounded off a great performance with a knockdown in the final round, catching Moreno coming in.
McCann move to 9-0 in his career.
McCANN VS MORENO
Really composed performance by young McCann who is showing his class.
The southpaw jab is working wonders and McCann’s body shots are also looking lethal.
Final two rounds here.
McCANN VS MORENO
After three rounds it’s all McCann, who can’t miss with his jab.
He’s looking for the left hook around the side and is edging closer.
Moreno is still a live challenger, but finding himself outboxed
McCANN VS MORENO
Really controlled opening round from McCann, behind his jab.
He showed lovely footwork at times and a shot over the top appeared to catch Moreno’s attention at one point.
McCann also went to the body well as he eased through the first three minutes.
UP NEXT
Rising bantamweight star Dennis McCann makes his return to fight experienced Mexican Luis Moreno.
Southpaw McCann is 8-0 and highly touted by veteran promoter Frank Warren.
So much so, that he has received comparisons to Prince Naseem Hamed.
SUN IS SHINING
Sunny Edwards will challenge for his first world title on April 30.
He faces IBF champion Moruti Mthalane with Mick Conlan on the undercard.
Edwards is 15-0 and his brother was WBC flyweight world champion.
AD ENOUGH
Highlight of David Adeleye’s KO.
A perfect left hook to the body left him opponent wanting to stay down.
Adeleye, who has sparred Anthony Joshua and Tyson Fury, moved to 5-0.
FOSTER VS RODRIQUEZ
We go the distance… Foster did all he could to try and force the stoppage but Rodriquez proved resilient.
Foster now pushes himself up the IBF rankings after winning the International title on points.
A world title shot will be in his sights soon.
FOSTER VS RODRIQUEZ
Heading into the final round and it’s been all Foster.
He’s landed some really good right hands, combinations too, but Rodriquez is showing why he’s never been stopped in his career.
FOSTER VS RODRIQUEZ
Through six rounds and it’s much of the same, Foster is pushing the action but Rodriquez is doing his best to spoil.
The Spaniard is also doing a lot of showboating but not much actual fighting.
Foster is landing the occasional right hand over the top.
FOSTER VS RODRIQUEZ
Really positive start for Foster, who has been on the front foot for the first three rounds.
Rodriquez is more bothered about running away from trouble than fighting back.
It could leave it hard for Foster to get the stoppage, but he’s in complete control as it is.
UP NEXT
Brad Foster, the British and Commonwealth super-bantamweight champion, faces Spaniard Alvaro Rodriguez.
Foster, who works at Tesco during the night, challenges for the IBF International title.
He is also an ex-kickboxing champion.
ADELEYE VS PRESTON
And it’s all over – just like that!
Adeleye’s first punch thrown with intent floors Preston – who made his debut – and the left hook was enough to see the ref count to ten.
It was a nice slip followed by a left hook to the body, and Adeleye improves to 5-0.
UP NEXT
Heavyweight David Adeleye returns for his fifth professional fight.
As well as his heavy hands, Adeleye is known for sparring with Tyson Fury and Anthony Joshua in the past.
He fights Dave Preston next.
MAXWELL VS FIELDS
Maxwell takes the decision, fairly wide on the card but he was made to work for his win.
He remains unbeaten and will still look to challenge for the British and Commonwealth titles in the future.
MAXWELL VS FIELDS
The fight goes the full eight rounds and Fields certainly came to win having came in as a late replacement.
He came forward throughout but did have a point deducted for holding.
Maxwell was the cleaner and more efficient fighter, but was given a hard night’s work as we go to the scorecards.
MAXWELL VS FIELDS
Fields has been more aggressive the last three rounds and letting his hands go on the inside.
Still, Maxwell looks the slicker puncher but is being made to work here.
We enter the second half of the fight now.
MAXWELL VS FIELDS
All one way traffic with Maxwell on the front foot, with Fields covering up.
Maxwell is letting his hands go but is finding it hard to break through Fields guard.
Going into the fourth and promoter Frank Warren can be heard shouting encouragement to Maxwell.
UP NEXT
Sam Maxwell, who twice boxed but lost to Vasiliy Lomachenko in the amateurs, faces Ben Fields.
Maxwell was due to challenge for the Commonwealth and British super-lightweight titles, but his opponent pulled out.
So he returns against replacement Fields.
BALL VS GILLEY
And your winner is… Danny Ball, who retains his WBC international welterweight title.
Ball will feel he was the more active fighter in there, and did not stop coming for all ten rounds.
Gilley will feel gutted, having rallied well in rounds while looking razor sharp.
The real winner was the fans, as that was non-stop action.
BALL VS GILLEY
And it goes the distance, capping off ten really exciting rounds, and leaving it really close to call.
Gilley was the sharper puncher, and looked to be fading at one point before rallying down the stretch, finding more success on the front foot.
But Ball was constant throughout and landed some really telling shots over the top.
Both were swinging right till the end, summing up the thrilling fight as it goes to points.
