Billy Slate
Light Heavyweight
Romford
2-0-0
6th December 2009 at York Hall
Romford’s Billy Slate outpointed shorter and lighter James Tucker over four rounds at light heavyweight. Slate, trained by Jason Rowland and 1-0 (0), produced all the quality work in the early rounds which saw his defensive opponent almost completely refrain from throwing any shots at all. Only in the third did Tucker start to respond with some meaningful punches of his own. But in general, Slate easily outworked the Doncaster fighter with jabs, hooks to the body and long right hands. At the close, referee Richie Davies scored it 39-37.
