The final fight of the night was the third fight in a Trilogy between raining High Peak Middleweight Champion and Simply Matched Novice Midlands Middleweight Title holder Jayden Mann versus Warriors Johnny Lowe .
There had been a big buildup to this fight, the first fight took place last year and was a Draw and then in November Jayden won the rematch in a close encounter at Swadlincote .
In the first round Johnny Lowe started on the front foot and had a comfortable first round, both fighters have completely different styles Johnny Lowe a traditional boxer and Jayden Mann had an unorthodox style of unleashing barrages of left and right body and head hooks. Johnny seemed to read his fighter a lot better in this fight and managed to block the vast majority of the powerful hooks that Jayden threw.
Johnny won most of the early rounds on the judges score cards and was the far more composed fighter and for the vast majority of each round seemed in control of the fight. As Jayden tired in the fourth round he became more dangerous and caught Johnny with some rasping hooks and only just missed by inches with a sweeping uppercut that might have changed the course of the fight.
In the fifth round both fighters were exceptionally tired, but Jayden started to struggle with his breathing and Johnny took full advantage and the ref stopped the fight for a mandatory 10 second count in the fifth due to Jayden’s breaking difficulties , Jayden commenced the fight with an almighty barrage that he managed to pull from somewhere but Johnny rode the storm and finished the fight on the front foot and when the bell went there was only one real winner.
The verdict went to the judges cards and Johnny Lowe won both titles by unanimous points victory
