Devine delight at Dochev victory
Luton boxer Michael Devine chalked up his eighth pro victory by beating Bulgarian Kristian Dochev on points at the Earthquake in Essex bill in Brentwood Saturday, writes Mike Simmonds.
A satisfied Devine said: “It was a decent performance, I expected a little bit better, but everyone said it went well and I’m just being a harsh critic of myself.
“He was the toughest lad I’ve faced. I had him wobbled a few times, and really went to get him out of there.
“But he hung in and tied me up. He was as tough as anything.”
