Croydon's Wayne Alexander wasted no time during his long awaited first defence of the British light-middleweight title on Saturday, writes Ziad Chaudrey.
Alexander comprehensively blew-out Scotland's Joe Townsley inside two explosive rounds at Bellahouston Leisure Centre, Glasgow.
Alexander dumped Townsley three times with big left hooks, twice in an entertaining opening round that saw him down on the canvas as well.
From that stage, Alexander completely tore into his opponent in a successful effort to prove his superiority. The contest ended in the second round when the champion delivered a stinging left hook that caught Townsley across his nose.
Alexander said: "There are a few light middleweights calling out my name in this country. They are all good fighters, but are not in my class."
