George Liddard vs Tyler Denny

George Liddard successfully defended his British and Commonwealth middleweight titles with a unanimous decision victory over a incredibly resilient Tyler Denny. The scorecards read 116-112 across the board, reflecting a competitive contest where the champion had to work through some difficult moments.

The narrative was one of "lessons learned"; while Liddard’s cleaner, more active work won him the early rounds, Denny’s grit forced the young champion to navigate a scrappy mid-section of the fight where he occasionally looked lethargic. The championship rounds proved decisive as Liddard found a second wind, landing the crisper shots to discourage a tiring Denny.

Despite the veteran’s best efforts to disrupt Liddard’s rhythm with clinching and head movement, the champion’s activity level—often throwing three punches for every one landed by Denny—was the difference. While the performance exposed some defensive lapses that higher-level punchers might exploit, Liddard’s "coming of age" victory keeps his perfect record intact and sets the stage for a potential step up to European level.
