September 21; Antwerp, Belgium:

 

"Sugar" [Jackson Osei Bonsu], 43-5-1, won a unanimous decision over [Jimmy Colas], 31-9, to win the vacant EU jr middle title in the headliner of BFN's show at the Lotto Arena last night. Jackson won on scores of 119-109 twice and 119-108 and the judges were generous to give Colas even one round. Colas came in with a battleplan and that was to wear down the local man and expose his reportedly fragile chin. But in order to hurt a man one must hit him but Jimmy was very much aware of Jackson`s fearsome power and protected himself well but didn´t scor with enough punches to win rounds let alone hurt his opponent. Jackson stunned Colas in the fifth, seventh and ninth. In the final round Osei Bonsu hurt Jimmy with a right and the Frenchman retreated and sat down against the ropes to take a count.

 

In the co-headliner [Delfine Persoon] won the vacant IBF female lightweight title by stopping Australian [Erin McGowan] in the seventh. McGowan looked strong and powerful but was too slow for the Belgian and soaked up a bad beating along the way. In the seventh she was floored and as Persoon followed up the referee stopped it.
