00:00 [INAUDIBLE]
00:04 Last bit of break.
00:05 When you stop boxing, take a step back.
00:07 Most importantly, protect yourself at all times.
00:09 Touch gloves.
00:11 Panel instructions delivered.
00:13 On we go with the action.
00:14 This is six three minutes in the lightweight division.
00:18 And it's a return to the ring for Leon Woodstock,
00:20 the 29-year-old from just over the road.
00:23 Beaumont lays the estate where the Unity Boxing Gym is based.
00:26 He wears the black trunks, gold lettering
00:30 in against the experienced Lewis Norman, the 29-year-old
00:34 from up the road in Shepshead, Leicestershire.
00:38 He's chosen life on the road now.
00:41 Norman, who's very much from the boxing family,
00:44 in against Woodstock, who is desperate to get in amongst it,
00:48 of course.
00:49 And Woodstock going to walk straight away.
00:50 Good hooks and tries that uppercut.
00:53 And Norman just quite happy to hold on early
00:56 as he sits on the ropes.
00:59 But Woodstock, who has been in esteemed company,
01:02 has only been beaten those three defeats on his record.
01:06 Picked by Archie Sharp, Zilpha Barrett, Anthony Kikachi,
01:10 all in big, big fights, European, Commonwealth,
01:13 British title fights.
01:14 So an experienced campaigner.
01:17 And certainly, as you well know, to be in operators like that,
01:21 it's no shame to be on the wrong end of decisions.
01:24 He's more than held his own in those fights as well.
01:26 And he's still got plenty of time to get back in the scene
01:29 at featherweight or super featherweight where he was,
01:31 but now maybe featherweight.
01:32 Yeah, but the looks of things, I think
01:34 he's obviously going to be one in the campaign at featherweight,
01:38 weighing in at featherweight limit yesterday.
01:40 Get a rank in there, step on and push on,
01:42 and get back in the title contention.
01:45 All going well tonight.
01:46 And he's started off well on the front foot, plowing forward.
01:51 High pace, high pressure, sinking the body shots in.
01:54 I think Norman's felt a few early on.
01:57 Good opening start.
01:59 Oh, look at that landing in.
02:04 Norman just goes too loud, just under a bit of pressure there.
02:07 Woodstock was just stepping up over the corner.
02:13 Well, Norman up at eight.
02:15 But this could be some statement from Leon Woodstock
02:18 in the first round as he goes to work again,
02:20 tries that sweeping right hand that didn't quite hit the target.
02:24 And Norman just holding on.
02:26 Still a minute of the round to go.
02:28 Well, there didn't seem to be a great deal in that right hand.
02:35 Just put Norman down.
02:37 Woodstock not rushing in there still.
02:41 Back to work.
02:43 Tries to jab Norman himself.
02:45 Tries to land a right uppercut.
02:48 And Woodstock again just has Norman where he wants him.
02:51 An uppercut got through, good right hand to the head as well from Woodstock.
02:54 Yeah, I think that was very similar to the right hand
02:56 that dropped Norman earlier on.
02:59 He's landing that shot nice.
03:02 He's whipping that left foot to the body.
03:05 Drops it, and he's got it.
03:07 He's whipping that left foot to the body.
03:10 Dropping Leon Norman down.
03:11 Oh, and the left hook!
03:12 The left hook from Woodstock has done the damage.
03:14 He did follow it up with a right hook,
03:15 but I think that body shot has done the damage there,
03:18 and Norman's in trouble here.
03:19 Gets to his feet on the eight count.
03:21 Has he recovered, though?
03:23 Well, it's the end, the final lockings of the round.
03:26 May well be saved by the bell as Woodstock tries a big right hook.
03:30 Didn't land, but the body shot that preceded the right hook there
03:35 did the damage to that second knockdown in the round.
03:38 Excellent work from Woodstock.
03:40 Yeah, and you look back, 2021 was his last contest.
03:44 He's come out here all guns blazing today, tonight.
03:48 You can tell he's been in the gym working hard, dropping down a weight.
03:51 He means business, and he's definitely come out and showed that in that opening round.
03:57 He was sinking the left hook to the body nice,
03:59 and I think Leon Norman was focusing more on wanting to block that,
04:02 and he's switched off with a right hand over the top.
04:06 And then I think the second knockdown was actually the body shot,
04:09 so he's switching his attacks up nice, Woodstock,
04:12 and very impressive opening round.
04:15 Yeah, left hook to the body.
04:19 He'll do well to get through this fight, Norman, after a first round like that.
04:25 Is he feeling the effects?
04:27 He comes out for his second round, scheduled for six.
04:32 And Woodstock again, quickly to work.
04:36 Norman having a go.
04:38 He looks bright enough at the start of the third,
04:41 but Woodstock has really got the bit between his teeth now.
04:44 Consents, a big finish.
04:49 Frustrating time for him, been out of the ring so long.
04:52 He catches a bit of overhand right though, doesn't he?
04:54 Yeah, can never switch off.
05:07 Right hand lands from Woodstock, Norman on his feet again,
05:10 just moves around.
05:38 Again, the left hook to the body sinks in.
05:41 Norman this time is off the ropes quickly.
05:49 You can tell Norman's got a bit of skill about him as well.
05:52 He's just feeling like he's been a bit overpowered by Woodstock,
05:56 just relentless pressure and sinking them body shots in as well.
06:00 It's a tough night for him, but he's shown little glimpses of class
06:03 every now and again and coming back with nice shots.
06:08 I think he's made it clear as well in recent times,
06:10 he's kind of just wanting to go on the road now.
06:16 Good shot from Woodstock.
06:19 But he's one of them fighters that can definitely pick up wins
06:22 when he wants to.
06:24 He's a class fighter, he's been in with some quality opposition,
06:28 been in title fights himself.
06:30 Just think he's getting overpowered tonight with a big,
06:33 strong fighter in Woodstock.
06:37 Well, this is two years of frustration it looks like from Woodstock.
06:40 He's putting everything into this, he's really trying to maul Norman.
06:43 Just complains about a shot to the back of the head there.
06:47 But it has been good sustained aggression from Woodstock.
06:49 Norman's still trying to use that ring craft of his to sneak in the
06:54 odd uppercut, but so far, apart from there's been one, I think,
06:58 right hand that Woodstock switched off and was caught by Norman,
07:01 but otherwise it's been pretty one way.
07:05 And again, good work to head and body.
07:12 Oh, the shot again.
07:15 He's firing him back as well, Norman, I think.
07:19 Oh, good right hand and an uppercut as well at the end of the second round.
07:23 Excellent work from Woodstock.
07:25 Norman still slinging from that rope position that he's on.
07:29 Very good round that was, very exciting round.
07:32 Relentless pressure from Woodstock.
07:34 Credit to Norman, he's stuck in there, he was firing him back as well.
07:40 Well, there's a frustrated look going on the face of Norman at the end of that.
07:44 There was some good shots getting through from Woodstock as he really
07:46 let fly in the final knockings of that round.
07:50 But he's been working well to head and body, Woodstock.
07:53 You've just got to think back as well, Norman, he's actually operated at flyweight,
07:57 so he's in with a big featherweight tonight, coming down from super featherweight.
08:01 I know Norman weighed heavier on the scales, but he looks a big, strong boy,
08:06 Woodstock, and he's shown every bit of that in the first up to two rounds there.
08:12 But credit to Norman, firing him back and taking the shots.
08:17 There was a second body shot that he took at the end, and he took it well,
08:20 and I think it was the look of frustration as he just slumped down on the stool, though.
08:25 Just couldn't evade a lot of the good work from Woodstock there at the end of that round,
08:30 and again Woodstock's so quick out and again just wants to go straight to work.
08:35 No feeling out process whatsoever.
08:39 Yeah, he's feeling the pace now, Norman.
08:50 You pointed out before, you do see the glimpses of the skill and the experience of Norman,
08:56 but it's relentless from Woodstock.
08:58 Yep. I also think it's a bit, like you said, Norman's,
09:04 he's kind of going down that road now where he wants to just go on the road
09:08 and get as many fights as possible, and just, if he picks up a win every now and again,
09:13 then he'll be happy, but...
09:16 Oh, what a big shot again.
09:19 Relentless pressure from Woodstock.
09:21 Shots to body and head, the referee, Peter McCormack having a look at this one,
09:25 gets him at eight again, the third knockdown for Norman,
09:29 and now there's plenty of time in this third round still,
09:32 just under two minutes, Woodstock again,
09:35 those hooks to the body, Norman off the ropes, can he get off the ropes there,
09:39 and right hook again, Norman goes down once more,
09:43 and this is surely just a matter of time.
09:46 Is he going to make the count?
09:48 No, not this time. It's all over.
09:51 Impressive performance, that was, like you said, a couple of years' frustration there.
09:59 I'd imagine Woodstock will now want to get back involved in title contention,
10:07 obviously now at Fenway, I feel like he'll be a force at that weight,
10:10 but he's got a lot of experience, he's got a lot of experience in the ring,
10:14 he's got a lot of experience in the ring,
