Sean McComb vs Hugo Micallef

In the opening fight of the night, Sean McComb (21-2, 6 KOs) defended his IBF European super lightweight title against the undefeated local fighter Hugo Micallef (11-1, 3 KOs).

It was a bright start from McComb, who took the centre of the ring and countered well throughout the first three minutes. Micallef struggled to find any joy against his southpaw opponent. A sharp left hand from McComb knocked Micallef down. He seemed to be ok after getting back to his feet, but the Northern Irishman continued to control the distance and tempo with ease.

Over the next few rounds, Micallef continued to struggle with the southpaw stance of McComb, who grew in confidence and timed his shots impressively. The brilliant combination and bodywork from McComb saw him score another knockdown, with his opponent doing well to make it to the end of the round.

The domination continued into the eighth round, where McComb landed two well-timed left hands in quick succession to score a third knockdown. Despite Micallef making it to his feet, the referee waved the fight off. McComb retained his European title via TKO.
