By Nathan Haworth: On Friday night Sam Sheedy put his 13-0 record on the line against Bradley Pryce a 53 fight veteran who would prove to be his toughest opponent to date.
Before the fight Pryce had tipped Sheedy to run for the duration; after the first round he may have been thinking differently. Sam tagged Pryce with a big shot that rocked the Welshman in the opening minute.
By Nate Anderson: Making his 7th defense of his Commonwealth (British Empire) light middleweight title, champion Bradley Pryce (27-7, 17 KOs) was destroyed in two rounds by the hard punching Matthew Hall (22-1, 15 KOs) on Saturday night at the M.E.N. Arena, in Manchester, Lancashire. Hall, 24, knocked Pryce down three times in the 2nd round. After the third knockdown, from a short right hand from Hall, the referee Ian John-Lewis stepped in and halted the fight at 2:59 of the round with Pryce laying crumbled on the canvas propped up against the ropes.
Light-middleweights Bradley Pryce and Matthew Hall have vowed to steal the show on March 14 at the M.E.N Arena. And although they are up against a blockbuster fight card featuring Khan-Barrera, Cook-Martinez and Maccarinelli-Afolabi, the 154-pound KO artists reckon they can do it.
