Refreshed Egan cuts it short

Kenny Egan set the scene for next Friday night’s showdown with Joe Ward in the finals of the Elite National Senior Boxing Championships with a short route victory over Westport’s Eamon Walsh (St Anne’s) in Saturday night’s light heavyweight semi-final at the National Stadium.

Walsh had already taken two standing counts when referee Martin Fennessy called the ringside doctor to examine his damaged nose and medical advice left him with no option but to stop the contest with Egan totally dominant.

“It went all right. A win’s a win,” Egan said.
