On the undercard, 12-0 prospect Adonis Stevenson comes back from a year-long layoff to face 18-3 Jermain Mackey for a minor belt. Also, local draw Sebastian Demers takes on Jose Spearman.
Elsewhere in the world, Matthew Macklin continued his rise through the middleweight ranks, smashing Amin Asikainen in the first round. Asikainen is a former titlist who has recently fought very close fights with many of the best in the division. Macklin is now the mandatory to face new titlist Sebastian Sylvester, and has easily cemented his spot in the middleweight top 10. Looks like Ricky Hatton's promotional gamble may already be paying dividends.
