Judges: Andrew Campbell - Gus Mercurio - Aneeka Williams
Winner: P Murdoch TKO 0:21 R3
Paul Murdoch PPBA Lightheavyweight Champion won by tko in the 3rd round against James Ellis whom did not seem to have the experience and seasoning required against an opponent such as Paul. James suffered a bad deep cut over his eye during the fight and should be out of action for some time to sustain a good healing.
James gave a very good account of himself against a very tough opponent and he should be taking his time and picking his opponents while climbing to National standards.
