Jack Domaille’s arm is raised by referee George Jennings. (1059345)

Jack Domaille, the big North centre-back, won inside the first round and will have to wait for at least his second bout to discover what it is like to be punched on the chin, such was the embarrassing ease with which he won this opener.

The light-heavyweight encounter was, in all honesty, a big let down as Rob Fernandez, a late replacement for Domaille’s scheduled opponent, clearly did not have the appetite for a fight.
