Seventh heaven for Da Silva
Thai boxer Paulo Da Silva picked up a seventh major title at Crwley Leisure Centre when he stopped Irish champion, Niall Brennan in the second round to win the International Muay Thai and Kickboxing Organisations' Commonwealth Flyweight belt.
In the first round Da Silva took the centre of the ring and dominated Brennan, using fast hands and strong low kicks.
In the second he pushed Brennan back and a right high kick put the Irishman down and he took a standing count.
Da Silva then charged forward, landing a right elbow and left hook, before the ref stopped the bout.
He said: "It was one of the best atmospheres I've fought in, it's wicked fighting in front of your home fans."
