Wansbeck Warriors on song as Archie Smith, Morgan Smith, and Finley Stewart all triumph

Archie Smith successfully defended his light welterweight belt when he defeated Sean Robertson earlier this month.

The fight was the main event on a programme held at the Jubilee Social Club in Walker, Newcastle, and following four two-minute rounds, the 23-year-old Alnwick-born boxer wrapped up a second win over Robertson by unanimous decision.

Smith dictated the fight throughout with some good combinations, skill, and footwork - and with only one loss to his name, his record now stands at 12 wins and a draw from 14 bouts.

Elsewhere, Ashington-born Morgan Smith - making his debut - had been first up to the apron, and made a highly impressive start to his in-ring career.

The 22-year-old came up against a much more experienced boxer in the shape of Nathan Pearce after his original opponent pulled out at the last minute. Nevertheless, Smith controlled the centre of the ring with some good combinations, and after three hard rounds, emerged victorious by a unanimous verdict.

Meanwhile, in a rematch, Finley Stewart came up against Owen Lyons. In their first fight, Lyons won by a split decision, and their second meeting also proved to be a very close fight up until the third round, when Stewart pulled it out of the bag.

The Northumberland talent sent Lyons to the canvas to have his hand raised for the win.

Speaking in the aftermath of the action, a proud Wansbeck Warriors coach Alan Buller commented: “Well done to all the boxers who participated on the night.”
