CORK, Ireland — Rising Irish prospect Tommy Hyde delivered a statement performance at home, stopping Mick Hall in the third round to remain unbeaten.
The victory came in the main event of Revolution, held at the Parochial Hall and streamed globally on TrillerTV.
Hyde Dominates From Start to Finish
Hyde (15-0, 10 KOs) controlled the fight early, repeatedly hurting Hall (15-4, 2 KOs) before sealing the finish late in round three.
The 6-foot-4, 26-year-old showcased his power and composure in front of a passionate hometown crowd.
“I’m delighted to get another good win at home in front of a loud Irish crowd,” Hyde said after his fight. “I was happy with my performance and felt like I brought some of the things we have been working on in the gym into the ring on fight night. I have been working hard with my coach, Lee Beard, in Manchester, and feel like I’m improving and showing it in every fight. I’m already looking forward to the next one and I’m excited to see what the next opportunity is.”
A Clinical Finish
According to promoter Gary Hyde, the finish came after sustained pressure and precise striking.
“It’s great filling these small halls and at the same building,” commented event promoter and Tommy’s father, Gary Hyde. “Tommy was in with an experienced fighter. Tommy took full control of the fight in round 1. He kept Hall on his back foot and as soon as he felt Tommy’s power, he was just trying to survive. Tommy landed a jab to the body, a double jab to the head, and followed up with a vicious right uppercut that broke Hall’s nose. He lost any of his earlier ambitions and was counted out.”
Cork Prospects Shine on Undercard
The event also featured strong performances from local talent.
Ryan McCarthy made a successful professional debut, defeating Wendall Da Costa Santos by decision (40-35).
