GULLY Powar wants to make a name for himself and he continued his exemplary unbeaten run with a landslide six-round’s points win against Jose Manuel Perez at the Bescot Stadium, Walsall, last night (Friday) on BCB Promotions Powar Moves show, writes PAUL WEBB.

 The 21-year-old who trains in his home city at Richie Carter’s Wolverhampton Boxing Club had boxed his previous two contests on major televised undercards.

Gully looked to have gained a lot from those experiences as he put on a mature performance against the dangerous Costa Rican, who has eight knockout wins on his ledger.

Entering the ring to the now familiar drumbeat, Powar looked confident as he settled into the fight, quickly establishing his jab against a fleet-footed opponent. The styles of both men gelled well and they used every inch of the ring, looking for openings.

It looked on paper like a step up for Powar, but he got into a nice rhythm, breaching Perez guard with some crisp combinations. It wasn’t all plain sailing - he did walk on to a few shots, but none did enough to trouble the scorecard as he took a shutout, 60-54. This was Powar’s ninth fight since turning pro in October, 2022, and after successive six-round victories, the talk of potential title fights will intensify.
