Eastbourne Boxing Club's Pocock puts on a master class

There were 14 top class bouts with Eastbourne's boxers contesting 12.

Not least the exceptional performance light welterweight Brett Pocock put in against the Met Police's Giacomo Ikoshi.

Brett flew out the traps to start unloading well picked power shots to head and body.

Ikoshi rallied well to tuck up and throw counters of his own, but Brett was too accurate and unrelenting as the hooks and uppercuts rained in.

Two standing counts were to follow in the second and third rounds as Brett took the decision unanimously.

Eastbourne Boxing Club would like to make a deserved mention for Ikoshi who showed bags of heart and courage - a credit to the sport.

Both Boxers won the prestigious bout of the night award.

Eastbourne's young Shayden Kelley put in an excellent display of in-and-out boxing, picking his shots against Scott Snelling of Whitehawk. Shayden took the unanimous points decision.

Light welterweight Huma Caglayan took on the aggressive and forward-coming Leah Carter from Poole.

The on-rushing Carter managed to sustain her attacks to push Huma back to take a split decision win.

Rowan Crombie took the rematch against Brighton & Hove's Tyler Wheeler at 60kg with the latter taking the first encounter by a split decision.

Wheeler made some excellent adjustments boxing well with sharp counters to make it a second win.

Matt Wood was pitted against Wes Shuwai, also for Poole ABC.

In a frenetic encounter, the low hands and fast head movement from Shuwai proved to be awkward for Wood but as the bout progressed, Wood was able to score well with the rear hand.

Come the decision Wood had his hand raised for Eastbourne in a split decision.

Younger brother of Huma, Sahab Caglayan turned the screw on Crawley's Dylan Heneghan in punch-picking straight punching affair from the home boxer.

In their second bout, Heneghan came to settle the score, but it was the quick rear hands from Sahab that told to take the unanimous decision.

Joe Willett boxed Hastings Westhill's Jenson Kent for the second time in a month.

Joe started well, using his rear and hand left hook combination to score against the tall Hastings southpaw.

As the bout progressed, Kent was able to push Joe back with long straight shots to eventually run out a unanimous points winner.

Fayed Miah performed well against the fast and tricky Ethan Salmon of neighbouring Bexhill to record a split decision win.

Salmon started well, managing the range well, but as the bout progressed, Miah was able to cut the range and score well to head and body.

Ayo Fubusula took on the fast and accurate Arjun Singh of Brighton & Hove in their lightweight encounter.

Both boxers held their ground and looked to counter with Ayo getting his feet close to score well with the rear hand.

Singh managed to control the range with his jab and pushed Ayo back to catch the judges' eyes. A split decision went to the Hove man.

In his first venture in to the ring, Brando Spalding took on Kaine Brooks from neighbouring Phoenix Boxing Eastbourne.

Brandon managed to set up his attacks well with a range finding jab, whipping in hooks and uppercuts to the target.

The Phoenix man stepped up a gear in the second throwing fast combinations to push Spalding back but it was the elusive movement and range control of the Eastbourne Boxing Club man who took the unanimous decision.

Super heavyweight Glenn Derrington took on Moulescoomb's Brad King at 110kg's.

Both started tentatively but it was the visiting King who proved more eye catching with his on rushing attacks to record the unanimous points decision.
