Have-a-go Birmingham welterweight Andrew Patterson and Walsall super-middle Matty Hough both tasted defeat in London last night (September 10).
Second City trier Patterson (pictured) lost out on points (40-36) to Phill Fury, cousin of heavyweight Tyson, who won an eight-round decision over American Rich Power on the same show at York Hall, while Hough was taken out in the opening session by recent Prizefighter competitor Daniel Cadman.
Manchester-based Fury, now 6-0 (1), couldn't hurt the Brummie at any stage of the 12-minute bout but slowly racked up the points to hand the Jon Pegg-trained fighter, 30, his eleventh defeat as a professional.
Hough, 7-5-1 (1) and returning to action for the first time since retiring to Majorca two years ago, couldn't boast the same thing.
The 33-year-old former Midland Area and British Masters title challenger was brutally swatted aside with 30 seconds remaining of the first round by Essex's Cadman, who improves to 13-5 (4), and his future as a paid fighter now remains in doubt.
Once touted as a solid prospect after winning his first five, the Errol Johnson-trained scrapper has come up short in two title challenges and is seemingly too vulnerable to make a decent living as a journeyman, having being halted in all of his defeats.
In the main event Rob McCracken-trained Shepherd's Bush welter John O'Donnell scored a career-best victory, winning a 12-round nod over 1996 Olympic bronze medallist Terence Cauthen. Ken Curtis marked it 118-112 to the former Commonwealth 147lb boss.
