Brummie dangerman Terry Carruthers continued his solid run of form on Saturday (September 4).
The 24-year-old welterweight had won three of his six fights (one draw) since a two-and-a-half-year exile from boxing in 2007.
And in his seventh outing since that absence, Terry ended the unblemished record of Liverpool's former ABA champion Liam Smith, younger brother of British super-middleweight title-holder Paul and Commonwealth featherweight boss Stephen, who won the belt on the same show, with a four-round draw at Glasgow's Kelvin Hall.
Kenny Pringle marked it 38 apiece, with Smith's record now standing at 5-0-1 (1).
Carruthers, whose pro ledger now stands at 6-5-5 (1), has gone 4-2-2 since being taken out inside 90 seconds by future British title challenger Barrie Jones in 2006 - including scalps over current British Masters welterweight king Sean McKervey and touted puncher Trevor 'Wrecking' Crewe.
Busy Terry is pencilled in to box Brian Rose, coming off a stunning knockout defeat to another Second City fighter, Max Maxwell, in Manchester next week.
In the main event, local hero Ricky Burns made a mockery of his pre-fights odds to rip the WBO world super-featherweight title from feared Puerto Rican puncher Roman Martinez on points.
