Matty Askin made short work of Bulgarian Attila Palko, halting
him the second round of a scheduled six.
A big uppercut rocked Palko's head back and as he tottered
backwards, Askin landed another telling blow which brought about
the intervention referee Phil Edwards.
The time was 1.59
Palko, who had only lost once previously in 13 outings, started
brightly enough and looked to pressure Askin, but the unbeaten
Blackpool man soon found his range and landed a hard right upstairs
before targeting the body.
Askin must surely now be looking towards a British title
shot.
