Liam is a shining light
HEAVYWEIGHT: Marcin Fojt
HEAVYWEIGHT: Marcin Fojt

LIAM Lights Out' Simpson is the new sensation learning his trade with Portland Boxing Club.

The youngster followed up his first bout victory with a comprehensive win against Stacy ABC's Jack Feather-stone in the open air meeting recently held at Dorchester Town FC's Jewson Stadium.

Despite being the more experienced boxer, Featherstone found himself cornered by Simpson immediately and after just ten seconds the referee was forced to step in and stop the bout.

Fellow Portland member, heavyweight Marcin Fojt, also impressed at Dorchester where he overcame Taunton ABC's Mark Cooper.

Fojt used his footwork to keep out of reach and continually landed some great jabs before opening up a bit more in the third and producing some telling shots to walk away the clear winner.

The island club's other boxer at the county town meeting was Joe Warley. He put on a brave performance in a great bout with Dorchester ABC's Reece Legg but lost on points.

Portland coach Tex Houston said: "I was very pleased with all the boys and if Simpson continues as he is, it will start getting hard for him to get opponents. Warley is also improving well and Fojt has started to find his rhythm with a string of wins."
