Whittaker vs Wallace live blog and results

Odel Kamara def. Thodoris Ritzakis by TKO

Probably didn't need to be stopped. Not the greatest debut but debuts are generally sort of useless. A kid with butterflies tried too hard to get the KO, he'll be calmer having gotten this over with.

Uddin wins British and Commonwealth flyweight titles

Uddin (8-0, 5 KO) was just the better fighter, no two ways about it. He was better than the game Bruce (8-3, 0 KO) all the way through. Bruce was down twice in the fifth and just took a beating. Uddin is not going to win over neutrals with his attitude and personality, but the guy is a class above the domestic scene at 112.

Fawaz retains British super welterweight title

James (17-3, 0 KO) fought OK and gave Fawaz a good challenge, but Fawaz is just really hard to fight at this level. He brings so much energy, it's just really hard to keep him at bay for 12 rounds, and most of his opponents at this level aren't going to have the power or conditioning to figure that out. James doesn't have power, and he folded not out of lacking effort or toughness, he was just worn out. He went down twice in Round 8 and that was that.

Ibraheem Sulaimaan def. Sonny Hardy by unanimous decision

Official Scores: 96-93, 97-93, 97-93 for Sulaimaan

A notably terrific Round 7 and a damn good fight in all. But that 7th round charge might have pretty much done Hardy in, too. Still, he gave this a tremendous effort, gave himself a chance to win, and he just came up short. Sulaimaan is now 12-0 (5 KO), while Hardy drops to 12-1 (5 KO).
