A Fight of Two Halves , that was the tale of the exciting British Light welterweight scrap that took place at Wembley Arena between Lenny Daws and Ashley Theophane. The fight as expected started at a brisk pace as the champion Daws used his non stop style to knock Theophane out of his game plan. Although sometimes scrappy there was no doubt that the champions work rate was what gave Daws an early lead. I had it 58-56 to Daws after 6 whereas Steve Bunce covering the fight for Premier Sports had the champion 5-1 up in rounds.
The second half of fight would become different though as Theophane began to time his punches alot better and his early body work began to slow Daws down. When the fight reached the 9th round it still looked like the champions workrate would see him through until a wicked combination of body punches and a big right had changed the fight around. Theophane was now in the ascendancy , Daws was badly hurt and soon after had to take a second count although to his credit he survived the round and ended up firing back at the American based Theophane.
With the fight just about even (i had it 85-85) after 9 rounds it looked as if all the experience gained by Theophane in the American gyms was showing as the challenger paced himself perfectly. I had him winning 2 of the last 3 rounds to cap a fine come from behind win. Both guys though deserve immense credit as it provided the fans with an excellent Mick Hennessy promoted main event.
