‘King Kong’ gave an eye-catching performance on the ‘Frampton Reborn’ bill, stopping tough Mexican Humberto De Santiago in the third round to claim the IBF Inter-Continental title.
Paddy Barnes
Flyweight,
Belfast
The double Olympic bronze medalist gave the best performance of his pro career thus far on the same bill, scoring a one-punch bodyshot stoppage of Nicaraguan Eliecer Quezada.
Carl Frampton
Featherweight
Belfast
It wasn’t his greatest ever performance but, considering the changes, the break, and the all-round pressure, Carl Frampton deserves plaudits for his homecoming comeback win over Horacio Garcia.
Connor Coyle
Middleweight
Derry
‘The Kid’ made a step-up to eight rounds on a big PBC bill in Florida, taking on the undefeated Calvin Metcalf. Changed to the swing bout at late notice, Coyle would keep his focus to win on points and set up a big 2018.

The Tallaght fighter topped his first bill, headlining the inaugural SK Promotions bill – ‘Next Generation – at the Citywest where he dominated Ferenc Jarko.
