Jake Hadley defeated Malcolm Gordon via first-round TKO
Malcolm Gordon struggled to maintain weight, so Jake Hadley took advantage of that on Saturday to defeat the seasoned Canadian by first-round stoppage. Right out of the gate, the winner of the British Contender Series hurt Gordon with a body shot before returning to it in the clinch. Gordon was knocked to the ground by a pair of digging left hands, which caused Hadley to celebrate and the crowd to go crazy.
