The hard-hitting cruiserweight Pat Brown, now 3-0 (3 KOs), blitzed through Lewis Oakford in a relative step up from the type of opposition he has been facing of late. Oakford, now 6-3, was light on his toes, flicking his jab into Brown’s face, and it looked as though it could take a while for Brown to tie Oakford down. Well, it didn’t end up that way, as midway into the round Brown landed a hard right and it was curtains for Oakford. He covered up in the corner and became a punch bag for Brown, who took full advantage, forcing the referee John Latham to jump in and save Oakford after two minutes and six seconds of Round 1.
