Abingdon BC fighters rec-orded three wins out of four in their 14-bout dinner show at the town’s Guildhall.

Middleweight Ben Pattison avenged his debut defeat to Dan Lachacz at Newbury earlier in the month by coming from behind after his Thames Valley rival won the first round.

Pattison’s superior work on the counter started to make an impact as he went on to claim the final two sessions and a clear points victory.

Richard Gregory’s extra power – particularly evident in the final round when he imposed a count from a looping right – proved decisive as he claimed all three ringside votes after an uncompromising clash with Jack Boyle.

Southpaw Ronan Wadley had provided the host gym’s first win of the night, showing more variety in his punches to claim a clear verdict over Slough opponent William Foreman in their schoolboy clash.

Abingdon welterweight Paul Sadler emerged on the wrong side of the verdict after a toe-to-battle against Usman Ahmed.

Witney light welterweight Brendan Chalk dominated the first two sessions of his clash with Jake Gathergood, but he let his rival bounce back in the final round before claiming a split verdict.

Harley Mace, now with Berinsfield, returned with a win at his former club’s show in his featherweight clash with Chepstow’s David Stans-field.

Thame flyweight Like Johnson used his extra inches to maximum effect to claim a clear victory over Epsom’s Lewis Thompson.

Sunningwell’s John Pouncenby squared up to Malmesbury rival James Bath for a pulsating lightweight battle with the Wiltshire man landing the cleaner shots in the final session to edge the decision.
