'Crunchtime at Lunchtime' - report

The main event on the 'Crunchtime at Lunchtime' supershow was a sight to behold as Steve Saville tasted championship glory for the first time.

Saville lifted the Midland lightweight title after stopping Baz Carey in the seventh round of an epic battle, as Dean Harrison became British Masters welterweight champion on Sunday afternoon.

'Saville v Carey: Part Two' was everything is promised to be and more. Even the bruising battle between the two in Saville's comeback bout at the Civic in June couldn't hold a candle to this.

The two went at a breakneck pace from the opening bell and by the deciding round, Saville was left nursing a cut above his eye.

"The Wednesfield Bomber' then finally put Carey to the floor, as the pro-Saville crowd roared it's approval, and the referee called for the bell.

Saville said: "Credit to Baz, he was some opponent. He made me work hard but I was the winner in the end."

Wolverhampton hope Harrison tasted glory via stoppage after besting Chris Long over eight rounds.

He picked off his opponent by working the body throughout and Long could take no more, conceding defeat at the end of the eighth round with a shoulder injury.

Harrison said: "There is more to come from me. This is just the beginning."

Coseley's Jamie Ball made it four out of four in the pro ranks with a points win over Tye Williams.

Ball had the upperhand throughout and saw his stock rise against another tough opponent.

He said: "I learned a lot from the last fight against Ernie Smith. I took a lot of that into the fight."

Wolverhampton's Chris Lewis floored Bheki Moyo en route to a points win and admitted he "picked his shots."

He said: "I was pushed and it was tough. Once I settled down, it all came together after that."

Debutant Richard Ghent made a winning start to life in the pro ranks with a 40-36 points win against Kristian Laight.

Ghent said: "I knew what Kristian was about and we had prepared for that. Nerves got the better of me in the first round but after that I was fine."

Dudley's Chris Male just wants to "keep moving on up" as he saw his stock rise, beating reigning British Masters champion Tony Hanna by 40-37 in a non-title bout.

Elsewhere, Matt Seawright bested Brierley Hill's Martin Gordon by 38-36 and Telford's Kieron Gray beat Matt Scriven by 40 -37.
