In a clash between unbeaten super bantamweights, Shabaz Masoud (11-0, 4 KOs) scored a twelfth round KO over Jack Bateson (17-1, 4 KOs) in the Edwards-Alvarado co-feature on Friday night at the Utilita Arena in Sheffield, England. Masoud appeared headed to a decision win until he dropped Bateson in round twelve and then finished him with his follow-up barrage. Time was 2:00. The bout was for the WBA Intercontinental title and also served as a British title final eliminator.

Middleweight Hebert Conceição (3-0, 1 KO), a 2020 Olympic gold medalist, outpointed Gideon Onyenani (4-2, 0 KOs) over six workmanlike rounds. The ref scored it 60-54.

Super flyweight Marcel Braithwaite (14-3, 0 KOs) won a messy twelve round split decision over Thomas Essomba (11-8-1, 4 KOs). Scores were 116-113 Escomba, 117-111 and 116-114 for Braithwaite. The bout was a British title final eliminator, but since Braithwaite missed weight he won’t be fighting for that belt next.

Lightweight Alin Florin Ciorceri (17-3-1, 7 KOs) took a spirited eight round decision over Levi Kinsiona (9-3, 1 KO). Referee Howard Foster scored it 77-76.

Unbeaten super welterweight Ishmael Davis (10-0, 4 KOs) got a fifth round referee’s stoppage against Dustin Ammann (7-8, 5 KOs).

Super middleweight Nicolie Campbell (10-1, 2 KOs) handed Frane Radnic (11-35, 10 KOs) his 35th straight loss. The ref scored it 60-54.
