Stourbridge's Sam Horton bounced back from his first defeat (to Cello Renda in a British title eliminator last year) with a victory over tough welshman Jamie Ambler lifting the vacant International Masters super middleweight belt in the process.
Horton had to pick himself up from the floor in the 8th round after a right to the body from Ambler, but the Stourbridge bus driver drove onto a 96-94 victory on referee John Keane's card.
Also on the dinner show, in a black country derby Tipton's Rob Doody and Brierley Hill's Martin Gordan could not be seperated with referee Keane scoring the eight rounder a draw.
Dudley's Chris Male also kept busy with a shutout points victory in his six rounder against late subsitute Anthony Hanna. Male had previously beat Hanna over four rounds in 2008.
