Paddy Barnes has claimed his fifth professional win and the vacant WBO inter-continental flyweight title with a sixth-round stoppage victory over Nicaraguan Eliecer Quezada at Belfast’s SSE Odyssey Arena.
Fighting on the ‘Frampton Reborn’ undercard of his friend Carl ‘The Jackal’ Frampton, the three-time Olympian was in impressive form. Barnes dropped his opponent with a body-head combo just before the bell to end the second round and produced a characteristically energetic performance to move to 5-0.
