RINGSIDE
TIMON DOUGLIN pulled out a huge left hook to flatten Feltham’s Balraj Khara and annex the vacant Southern Area light-heavyweight title at York Hall.
Khara crashed down on his back, and although he bravely struggled up at eight, referee Lee Every promptly waved it off at 0-25 of the seventh round (scheduled for 10). It was definitely the right decision, and Khara needed several minutes’ treatment in the corner. Happily, he was able to come to the ring centre for the official announcement.
The taller, stronger Douglin (Reading) was in charge throughout. He was getting through as early as the first session, and landing freely with both hands in the next two.
Khara shipped a big right in
