LIAM Gould continued the perfect start to his professional career as he outpointed 78-fight veteran Paul Cummings over four rounds at Dudley Town Hall on Saturday, writes Jack Heather.

Gould was yet to lose a round in the paid ranks and continued that trend, winning every round on referee Ryan Churchill’s scorecard.

The 24-year-old hurt Cummings numerous times throughout the contest, most notably in the opening round with a straight right hand.

The light-middle was also keen to showcase his boxing ability and continued to land combinations to both body and head throughout the contest.

The Tipton-based boxer is a switch hitter and regularly combined both stances with ease, landing an eye-catching left hand from the southpaw stance midway through the third.

Gould trains out of Gymmies Fitness and Boxing Gym under the guidance of his uncle and former pro, Jimmy Gould.

Now 4-0, the Black Country native has likely completed his four-round apprenticeship and will move up to the six-round distance in his next outing.
