Matthew Marsh Defeats Esham Pickering

marsh463446.jpgBy Nate Anderson: In a punching display that reminded me of a prime Ricky Hatton, super bantamweight Matthew Marsh (10-1, 1 KOs) out-slugged champion Esham Pickering (22-7, 13 KOs), defeating him over 10 toughly competitive rounds to win a 10-round unanimous decision on Friday night at the York Hall, Bethnal Green, in London. Marsh, a fighter with only average power, looked powerful enough to cause Pickering huge problems in the fight, keeping under a constant rain of huge hooks and right hands to the head, and preventing Pickering from getting his high volume offense in gear.

A lot of the times, Marsh looked like a carbon copy of Hatton, only better, as he was able to land beautiful combinations to the body without getting hit with left hooks like Hatton normally does as he charges in to throw his wild hooks. Marsh out-worked Pickering in two of the first three rounds, looking as if he was taking out all the stops in order to capture Pickerings’ BBBofC British super bantamweight title.
