Mixed fortunes for two Stourbridge boxers yesterday at a dinner show hosted at the Heritage Hotel, Derby with both fighters fighting for vacant titles.
Sam Horton's stock continued to rise as he picked up his first belt, the vacant Super-Middleweight Midlands Area title, by beating Matthew Hainy on points over 10 rounds.
Not so good for Scott Evans though as he was stopped in only the 2nd round by Derby's Dave Ryan for the vacant Welterweight version of the belt Horton had won. Evans stepped up last time he fought beating Chris Long at short notice to claim the British Masters title at Welterweight.
Horton's record now stands at 13-0-0 (2 inside), while Evans slips to 8-1-0 (also 2 wins inside).
