On Friday night from York Hall in London, England, prospect John O’Donnell (23-1, 11 KO’s) took on veteran Terrance Cauthen (35-6-2, 9 KO’s) in a 12 round welterweight bout in front of a very enthusiastic crowd. The ShoBox telecast kicked things off with the co-main event featuring heavyweight Tyson Fury (11-0, 9 KO’s) taking on late replacement Rich Power (12-0, 9 KO’s) in a 8 round affair.

Fury did what was expected of him as he easily dominated the Michigan native with a unanimous decision win but not with plenty of action along the way. The very game Powers didn’t just lay down for the heavyweight prospect, he gave it his all landing some very nice shots like a picture perfect uppercut that tossed Fury’s mouthpiece to the ground in the 6th round. But the towering heavyweight only got angrier as he landed almost at will on the shorter and much lighter Power’s.

Some people might criticize Fury’s performance citing that he should have KO’d his late replacement opponent but Fury put some nice work in and showed some nice skills in the fun 8 rounder. I’m sure we’ll be seen more of him in the future over here in the states, I’ll be looking forward to it.

In the main event, hometown favorite John O’Donnell won a workman like decision over the crafty Cauthen beating him to the punch and avoiding any real damage throughout the bout. Due to the low knockout percentage there was some nice punches landed but none of the fighters was in any real danger.

O’Donnell of Shepherd’s Bush, Great Britain improved to 24-1, 11 KOs by showing some good skills against his toughest test to date in a very uneventful fight against Terrance Cauthen who drops to 36-6-2, 9 KO’s.
