Jude Gallagher was buzzing after battering Birmingham boxer Niall Farrell in his own backyard to progress to the Commonwealth Games quarter final.
Gallagher, 20, needed just 122 seconds to have his English opponent counted out on his feet in the first round at the NEC.
Two booming right hands turned Farrell’s legs to jelly, and the fight was waved off after a second standing count in quick succession, much to the distaste of the home fighter and large pocket of supporters.
