Stokes Blown Away

Two-fisted assault is dynamite from Jenman in upset victory.

NICKY JENMAN turned his fight with Tom Stokes completely on its head with a devastating attack that ended proceedings in just the second round of a scheduled eight.

They headlined a four-bout dinner show, staged by Errol Johnson’s BCB Promotions, where the bombs were flying in.

It looked, at points, like the never-stopped Stokes was going to force the early finish himself, such was the force of the left hooks he measured to Jenman’s head.

But he lunged forward looking for the same shot and walked onto a straight right hand, which stopped him in his tracks.

Jenman followed up with a loaded left hook that felled Stokes near the ropes. He answered the count dazed and on unsteady legs. Referee for the night Shaun Messer waved for the finish, at 1-29.
