Two wins from two for Keary

IT WASN'T just the sun that was shining in North East Scotland at the weekend.

Castlewellan professional boxer Donagh Irish Kid Keary produced another masterclass display of boxing in his second professional fight at the Beech Ballroom in Aberdeen on a Knyoch Boxing promoted six fight card.

The extremely well presented dinner show was a sell out, with an electric atmosphere from start to finish.

Keary's opponent was another tough South American in 30 year old Joaquin Valdez, a 17 fight experienced boxer.

Right from the opening bell of the four rounder, Keary stamped his authority with thunderous body and head shots.

Valdez went on the back foot but Donagh’s sharper footwork ensured a 10-9 round.

Keary kept the pressure on in round two, looking to put a first KO on his resume but the lesson learned in this shut out win is patience.

Sometimes less is more. Learning to shoot with accuracy and landing them shots in what in boxing terms are the sweet spots that can force the stoppage.

All in all another great performance from Keary who would like to thank all his sponsors who are keeping his dream alive and of being a world champion someday and also those who travelled to support him in Aberdeen.

Fight number three is in the pipeline, with a date to be announced in the next week.
