By William Mackay: British and Commonwealth light middleweight champion Anthony Small (23-1, 16 KO’s) successfully defended his titles on Friday night with a 12 round decision over Thomas McDonagh (34-3-3, 7 KO’s) at the Robin Park Centre, Wigan, in Lancashire. Small looked bored for the most, tagging the slow-footed McDonagh pretty much whenever he pleased. However, McDonagh kept the pressure on Small throughout and found success in many of the rounds.
