In front of a capacity crowd, undefeated Michael Bolling (now 10-0 8ko) won the vacant Australian Super Middleweight Title against previously undefeated Serge Yannick (now 4-1 3ko) at Cronulla Leagues earlier this evening.
In a tough fight which was described "as 1 of the best action fights of the year" by my source ringside, Bolling dominated mostly in the early & middle rounds.
Bolling knocked the iron-chinned Yannick down heavy in round 8, & Yannick returned to come home strong to win the last 2 rounds clearly.
Ringside all the judges gave the win to Bolling, with my source ringside scoring it 96-93 to Bolling or 6 rounds to 4 with the knockdown.
The crowd were clapping & standing on their feet at the fights conclusion.
Post fight Bolling's crew stated they would be keen on fighting former Australian Super Middleweight champs Les Piper & Israel Kani in the new year.
Hopefully more can be seen of him on TV in the new year.
On the undercard Billy Dib won a near shutout to Filipino Roel Mangan over 8 rounds at lightweight. My source had it 79-73 as did 2 of the judges.
Mangan fought well & with my heart as always, however Dib was just too slick & skillful.
Also Hussen El Husseini (now 2-0 0ko) remained undefeated with a 4 round unanimous decision over the winless Frank Droulias. My source had it 40-37 to Husseini.
