Nathan Cleverly claimed the vacant British light-heavyweight title at the York Hall in Bethnal Green on Saturday night when he scored routine 7th round win against the previously unbeaten Danny McIntosh.
The unbeaten Welshman totally outclassed Mcintosh, knocking him down four times, twice in the second round, once in the third and again in seventh round. All the knockdown came by virtue of the right hand.
McIntosh was as brave as they come but Cleverly’s superior boxing skills and greater experience proved just too much for the Norwich based fighter. Referee Howard Foster stopped the fight after 1.30 of the seventh round to stop McIntosh from further punishment.
