Those are basically mismatches. The card is horrible.
By Tim Royner: Former super bantamweight world title challenger Gavin McDonnell (19-1-2, 5 KOs) had too much experience and class for domestic level fighter Gamal Yafai (14-1, 7 KOs0 in beating him by a 12 round unanimous decision on Saturday night on the undercard of the Kell Brook vs. Sergey Rabchenko card on Sky Sports at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, England.

By Scott Gilfoid: Unbeaten #1 WBC Rey Vargas (29-0, 22 KOs) took #2 WBC Gavin McDonnell (16-1-2, 4 KOs) to school in beating him by a 12 round majority decision on Saturday night to win the vacant World Boxing Council super bantamweight title at the Ice Arena in Hull, UK. The judges scored the fight 114-114 117-111 and 116-112. Boxing News 24 scored the fight 12 rounds to 0 in favor of Vargas. He totally dominated the 30-year-old McDonnell.
By Gerardo Granados: This Saturday at the Ice Arena, Hull Yorkshire, two hungry fighters will fight for the vacant WBC super-bantamweight title in Gavin McDonnell, who has the support from the locals better show his hunger and determination to defeat a young lion Rey Vargas who will have legendary trainer Ignacio Beristain in his corner.
For Gavin this is the chance for him to join his brother Jamie McDonnell WBA bantam titlist as brother champions and also for the loud fervent UK fight fan base to add one more champion to their last years long list of champions which to me represent an UK Boxing Golden Era.
By Scott Gilfoid: In a controversial stoppage, WBA interim middleweight champion Chris Eubank Jr. (20-1, 15 KOs) stopped a badly over-matched #13 WBA fringe contender Tony Jeter (20-5-1, 14 KOs) in the 2nd round on Saturday night at the Sheffield Arena in Sheffield, UK.
