Foster defeats Ocampo: BCB Promotions Wolverhampton results
Brad Foster returned to winning ways beating Joshua Ocampo on points at the Hangar Events Venue in Wolverhampton.
The former British and Commonwealth bantamweight champion looked very sharp against his Colombian opponent and will want to be back in the title mix soon.
It was a much needed blowing off of the cobwebs for the 25 year-old from Lichfield, after back to back losses against Jason Cunningham and Ionut Baluta. Ocampo gave a solid account of himself but Foster’s class shone through taking a 60-54 points victory.
Gully Powar looked every bit the hot prospect in just his second professional bout, stopping Stanislav Bilahurov in the 4th round
The 20 year old from Wolverhampton started the fight strongly picking apart the Ukrainian, who was looking to slow the action down and take a breather at any opportunity.
The fight looked likely to go the distance, but Powar came out in the 4th like a man possessed. Bilahurov started to lose his gum shield on a regular basis, finally being deducted a point however it didn’t deter the proud Punjabi star who landed a flurry of clean shots leaving the referee no choice but to step in and wave it off.
Telford’s Ryan Whitehead ended a very impressive first year in the paid ranks with a points win against the experienced Gennadji Krajevski ending 2022 3-0 taking a 40-36 points victory.
Birmingham’s Mykey Lee Broughton gained some valuable rounds against one of Britain’s most experienced boxers MJ Hall winning 40-36.
