The upset run of former world jr welterweight champion DeMarcus “Chop Chop” Corley (39-20-1, 22 KOs) continued Saturday when Corley stopped recent world title challenger Paul McCloskey (23-2, 12 KOs) in round ten on Saturday night at Kings Hall in Belfast, Northern Ireland. Corley staggered McCloskey and had him battered, bloody and dazed when referee Ian John-Lewis waved it off at 2:28. The 37-year-old Corley upset then-unbeaten Gabriel Bracero (18-0) in his last fight to end a six fight losing streak.
Earlier, middleweight Eamonn O’Kane (7-0, 3 KOs) topped JJ McDonagh (8-2, 4 KOs) to win an all-Irish “Prizefighter” tourney.
