Olympian Caroline Dubois extended her unbeaten record to five fights in lightning quick style as she took just one minute to stop Sofia Rodriguez in Bournemouth.

Dubois wasted no time in throwing heavy right hands out of her southpaw stance and, after three solid rights in a row knocked Rodriguez into a corner, Dubois just unloaded.  Two body shots and a big right had the Argentinian in trouble, before one more right and a left saw referee Chas Coakley dive in to stop it. The official time was 1:00 of the first round, as Dubois recorded a fourth successive stoppage.

“I knew she had never been stopped, so my plan was to touch her with the jab and slowly break her down,” Dubois said. “As soon as I hit her, I felt her go, so I just decided to step on it and when I got her in the corner I just let loose.

“I guess [power] just runs in the family. But I have got great boxing skills and I can’t wait to step up next year and show it. I want big fights next year.”

Steve Robinson pulled out the big punches when he needed them as he came from behind to drop Nick Campbell twice in the fourth round to force a stoppage.

For three rounds, Campbell was well on top, catching Robinson regularly and making Robinson miss wildly at times.

But Robinson stuck with it and his power told in the fourth round.

After missing with a big right uppercut, Robinson landed a huge left hook that dropped Campbell heavily. Robinson went full out for the stoppage and landed a left hook that dropped Campbell again.

Campbell rode some big shots but was nailed with another left hook that forced referee Chas Coakley to stop it at 2:57 of the round.

“It was an eight-round fight, so I was not too bothered about being down a few points within the first rounds because I’ve got more heart than any single person,” Robinson said. “Am I the greatest boxer? No, and I will openly admit that. But for the last nine months since the Shane Gill loss, I have spent every single day in the gym with Mark (Clausel) and Giuseppe (Bivona) doing every single thing I was told every single day.

“What everybody thinks, I don’t care. I’m not a gimmick and I’m going to keep going. This is just the start.”

Cori Gibbs lost his unbeaten record in his 18th fight as an ill-fitting gumshield cost him his fight with Jimmy First.

Gibbs had three points deducted by referee Sean McAvoy, for his gumshield falling out (it happened in total nine times). That turned out to be the difference between a draw and a First win, as he scored it 76-73.

First extended his unbeaten record to 14 fights but, aged 41, his ceiling is not that high, although he will be keen to get a shot at British champion Gavin Gwynne.

“I just had to fight my heart out,” First said. “Heart of a lion, it’s that Yorkshire spirit. If you put me down, I will get back up and keep coming.”

Gibbs was the better boxer and looked good at various points in the fight, although he injured his left hand and lost his way when his gumshield started falling out, which in turn encouraged First to come into the fight, certainly in the middle rounds.

After a slow start, Gibbs started to push the pace in the third round, when he looked to rock First with a right hand among a barrage of punches, although Gibbs’s gumshield then fell out, for the second time, ending the momentum.

In the fourth round, Gibbs’s gumshield fell out three times, leading to referee Sean McAvoy taking a point away, while Gibbs said he had hurt his left hand when he returned to his corner.

First landed a decent left early in the fifth round and then Gibbs’s gumshield fell out again, McAvoy taking another point and then telling the corner “this is professional boxing, not white-collar boxing”. When the gumshield fell out again, McAvoy just let the action go without stopping it.

Early in the sixth round, Gibbs was docked a third point as the gumshield fell out again, but he responded well this time, outworking First and finishing the round again without the gumshield.
