Mickey Helliet Pushes Prospects Along on South London Bill

Lloyd Ellet made a successful debut against resilient Bheki Moyo - a man who comes to survive and nothing more - and in the opening round looked dangerous with long, straight punches. Ellet seemed to take the wind out of Moyo in the second with a long left to the body but gradually became a little scrappier as the fight progressed. Some positive signs were there for welterweight Lloyd who won 40-36 over four three minute rounds. Another fighter who looked fairly comfortable was Mordon’s Craig Whyatt making his debut against crafty ‘Rockin’’ Robin Deakin. Roared on by a sizable contingent, light-welter Whyatt was aggressive and brought the fight to Deakin, who spoiled and messed the debutant around. Craig couldn’t find the stoppage against perennial survivor Deakin but was busy with good punch variety winning 40-36 over the four round distance. Craig was cut over the right eye during the bout, but the damage looked to be fairly minor. The Peckham ‘Pexican’ Johnny Garton met late sub James Nesbitt in his second fight and seemed to struggle against the Birmingham journeyman. After a rousing reception to the strains of ‘Nobody Likes Us But We Don’t Care’ by his Millwall supporters, twenty-four year old Garton looked to take the fight to Moore but seemed like he tried too hard to please the excited crowd. Looking a little sluggish and finding Nesbitt an elusive target, Garton struggled to change pace and the fight fizzled out with only Garton’s better workrate separating the two fighters. Welterweight Garton won a shutout on the cards over four rounds but suffered a gash over his right eye for his troubles. Marcin Marczak, a twenty-nine year old Pole fighting out of Finchley, managed to stop durable Bulgarian Danny Dontchev in the 4th and final round of their meeting. The Pole, in his second fight and heavier by a stone at 11st 12 1/12 lbs, took his time to try and figure out journeyman Dontchev in a quiet opening round that could have gone either way.
