Hale can't take the pace

Paul Ryan is the new British and Commonwealth light welterweight champion. He knocked the defending champion, Ross Hale, to the canvas twice in the first round of their bout at the York Hall in Bethnal Green last night, and Hale was counted out the second time he went down. "He's never been in with someone who can hit as hard as me," Ryan said after the fight.
