SHEFFIELD light-heavyweight John Ibbotson had to be on top of his game to defeat Worksop's Simeon Cover at Don Valley on Saturday night.
Doncaster referee Howard Foster scored it 58-56 to Ibbotson after six gruelling rounds.
Ibbotson's superior speed and fast start was the difference between the two fighters who gave their all in an enthralling encounter.
Stannington light-heavy Billy Boyle got the show off to a flyer by finishing off Lowestoft's Paul Davis in spectacular fashion, with a leaping left hook in the fifth round that left the visitor out cold and requiring oxygen.
Hillsborough's Adam 'The Outlaw' Kelly outclassed Manchester's Amir Nadi with an overwhelming 60-52 points victory at light-welterweight.
Kelly had Nadir down in the first with a right hook and again in the second with a cracking left-right counter.
Harworth soldier Joe Elfidh dominated his light-welterweight six-rounder against Manchester's Abdul Rashid with a 60-54 shutout points victory. Unbeaten Elfidh looked fluid and relaxed as he had things pretty much under control for every session.
Chesterfield's Mark Krence continued on his cruiserweight comeback trail with a hard earned four-round points victory over Featherstone's 125-fight veteran Paul Bonson, by 40-37.
