Monir Miah travelled to Stanley House in Audenshaw Manchester on Thursday 22 March and beat Ronnie Taylor of Northside Boxing Club.                                                         

In what was a hostile and rowdy atmosphere, Miah came out for the first round instantly landing a powerful right hand to the jaw.

The punch forced Taylor onto the ropes and the Hamer boxer then unloaded with swift punches to the body and head.

This continued throughout the round with Miah covering up well to defend against the punches Taylor threw at him before landing his own to take the round.  

The Northside boxer had a little bit more success in the second round due to Miah's eagerness to land his punches.

Both boxers took to the middle of the ring in the third and last round but it wasn't long before the Hamer boxer's punching power began to dominate as Miah constantly landed hurtful punches to the face, which gave his opponent a nose bleed and at one point the bleeding was so bad the referee had to call time out to clean up Taylor's face.

By this time the Northside boxer was showing signs of fatigue whilst Miah's fitness and work rate continued to impress and he had his arm raised in victory by unanimous decision at the end.                                                          

Hamer Coach Frank Maddocks said: “It was a good learning curve for Monir and had he more experience I believe that his punching power could have caused a stoppage win for him.”
