WORCESTER Amateur Boxing Club's John Roberts made his competitive debut against Lye ABC's Lee Worton.

Worton boxed well behind sharp straight punches, keeping Roberts at arms length. Once inside the Worton jab, Roberts threw some good two and three punch combinations.

As the rounds progressed, Worton's work rate increased against a tiring Roberts.

Worton continued the pressure through to the final bell where he was awarded a comfortable points verdict.

Worcester ABC welterweight Shane Smith was also on the bill and took on Scott Evans of Lye.

The pace set from both boxers was almost non-stop with Smith's aggressive two-fisted attack against a stiff jab and body hooking Evans.

Evans picked up a second victory over Smith in a unanimous decision.
