Jamie Arthur, the Commonwealth Games medallist from Cwmbran, could well take more than one video viewing of his four-round lightweight points win over Irishman James Gorman.

It was Arthur's second professional bout and he gained a 39-37 verdict from Newport referee Dai Morgan.

Arthur (9st. 91/2lb), winning both his bouts, said: "He was half a stone heavier and that's quite a bit of weight to give away. It was a little bit hard, but I expected it and I sure go it.

"He was still as strong in the fourth as in the first because I caught him with a few good shots.

"This was a learning fight and I'll go away and watch the video. And I would like to thank all those who came down to watch me."

Gorman (10-2) provided an excellent test for Arthur and maybe the result should have been closer. He said: "I knew it was close and I thought Arthur was out on his feet at the end but I just couldn't get to him."

Newbridge super featherweight Gavin 'The Rock' Rees kept his word and his unbeaten professional record with the third first round success in 20 paid bouts.

He disposed of Daniel Thorpe (Sheffield) in 2min. 44sec. in a completely one-sided affair, Thorpe (9-9) immediately on the back foot as Rees (9-121/2) took the centre of the ring.

Before the fight Rees said: "I am sure I'll knock him out in a couple of rounds."

Rees had his opponent on the canvas three times and the stoppage by Aberdare referee Wynford Jones was academic.

It was hardly the right preparation for Rees who now plans to finally get WBU champion Kevin Lear into the ring.

Rees, who lifted the WBO intercontinental featherweight crown over two years ago, said: "It was easier than I expected - you can't expect anything much easier than that.

"Hopefully my next opponent will be Lear. They are talking about a world title shot by September."

A bid by Rees has twice been put on hold, a shoulder injury putting Lear out of action.

Rees is due to meet West Ham's Lear in his own back garden, the fight possibly at the Wembley Conference Centre. The Welshman said: "That doesn't bother me in the slightest."

Welterweight Tony Doherty (10-81/2) was even quicker disposing of his opponent Paul McIlwaine (10-6) of Belfast, whose interest was ended after 2min. 10sec. of the first round.

This was Doherty's second paid win, his first fight going the distance over four rounds.

Doherty, with a big fan following, said: "It was a big right which did the damage. I waited for an opening an took it.

"I am happy to get a knock-out in front of my own family. It is a great experience to box in an arena like this."

Doherty boxed with class and calm assurance and - just as Rees - was clearly a cut above his opponent.

* Enzo Maccarinelli became Wales' second world champion and the first from Swansea on Saturday after a stunning fourth round knock-out at the Cardiff International Arena.

And just like Joe Calzaghe, he had to get up off the floor to win as he was dropped by a powerful left hand from Hackney rival Bruce Scott in round one.

Many pundits believed the fight for the WBU cruiserweight title should not have been sanctioned.

Despite a fine record, former British and Commonwealth champion Scott had not fought for two years while Maccarinelli had never gone beyond four rounds in just 14 fights.

And Maccarinelli still hasn't gone beyond four rounds as he took control of the fight.

He dropped Scott in round four with a fierce right to the body and then feinted with his right and drew Scott on to a stunning left hook for a clean KO after 2min 49secs.

"I'm absolutely staggered," said 22-year-old Maccarinelli afterwards. "I've wanted this all my life.

"I was stunned by a left hook in the first but quickly regained control and caught him a few times.

"I hit him with a peach of a shot in round four and I knew I'd got him. He was trying to jump in a lot and left himself open. I slipped a right hand and that made him walk straight on to my left and that was it.

"I'm not saying I'm the best champion in the world. This is a stepping stone. They can all come at me and I'll face them all."
