You could have forgiven First Team's Paul (P.J) Rowson if he'd decided to scrap his September 5 Sunday afternoon card at Wolverhampton Civic Hall.
The Black Country promoter had seen no fewer than six fights, including title action involving two Aficans - Ugandan-born, Birmingham-based Swede Patrick Bogere and Ghana puncher Phillip Kotey - as well as a decent-looking British Masters welterweight tussle between champion Sean McKervey and serving Marine Keith Sheen, Halesowen, scrapped in the weeks leading up to the action.
Local ticket seller Jamie Ball, undefeated in ten, was also forced off late on.
But he persevered and those who made the trip to Wolverhampton were offered up five bouts of action.
Token main event saw Stafford's tall, talented light-welterweight Rob Hunt (pictured) extend his ledger to 14-0-1 (1) with a six-round nod over tanned former Midland Area 10st champion Ben Lawler, Skegness.
Hunt, 24, hopes to be in title action this year and a shut-out decision over Lawler, who was brutally swatted aside inside a round by British title challenger Dean Harrison on his last visit to this venue, indicates steady progress.
Shaun Messer controlled the action inside the ropes.
Stourbridge upsetter Kevin McCauley showed his recent form has been no fluke with a 38-38 draw with reigning Masters champion Sean McKervey.
Durable McCauley, 6-18-3, had won two of his last three entering (wins over five-fight unbeaten Keiron Gray here in June and touted Liam Power, 2-0) and boxed solidly to fend off the attacks of the southpaw from Coventry.
McKervey, who won his title with a three-round demolition of West Brom's Wayne Downing at this venue earlier in the year, is now 7-2-2 (1).
Ex-Aston ABC light-welter Chris Truman is now 5-0 after a four-round nod over Nuneaton's Kristian Laight, who was forced to haul himself off the canvas in the second before going down 39-37 for referee Rob Chalmers.
Hard-hitting Rowley Regis welter Jason Welborn, 4-1 (2), shut out durable Chris Brophy over four and Walsall middleweight Bobby Wood, 3-1, bounced back from a stoppage defeat in his last outing to score a narrow 59-57 verdict over the West Country's Gavin Brook, who Wood outpointed on his paid debut last year.
