EASY DOES IT
HAMILTON
JULY 31
MORE than 20 years have passed since Mike Tyson took all of 38 seconds to demolish Texan Lou Savarese on a horrible, rainy night at Glasgow’s Hampden Park. Though this Sam Kynoch and Dennis Hobson show wasn’t quite as high profile, the weather at Hamilton’s New Douglas Park thankfully proved more favourable as open-air boxing returned to Scotland.
The vacant Commonwealth featherweight title was the prize in the main event but only Bearsden southpaw could take the belt home after Accra’s, also a leftie, came in one-and-a-half pounds overweight. British fans may remember Williams from a previous visit to the UK when he was outscored over 10 rounds by Josh Wale in 2019. But hearing the final bell never looked likely this time as he fell victim to the relaxed and confident Scot’s accurate punches, which repeatedly found their intended target.
