Birmingham, UK (July 20, 2024) - On the Frank Warren 'Magnificent Seven' card, Solomon Dacres left no doubt about his prowess in the ring, securing a seventh-round TKO victory against Michael Webster. This win, which took place on July 27th at the Resorts World Arena in Birmingham, was a significant statement for Dacres, who improved his record to 9-0 with 3 KOs.

The Rematch: Dacres vs. Webster

This bout was a rematch, with the first fight leaving some fans questioning Dacres' performance. The early rounds of the rematch mirrored the competitiveness of their initial encounter, with Webster showing resilience and tactical acumen. In the first four rounds, Webster managed to build some confidence, winning a couple of rounds and making it a close contest.

Turning Point

The turning point came in the fifth round when Dacres landed a powerful right hand that visibly hurt Webster. Despite Webster taking a knee and getting up at the count of nine, he was clearly shaken. Dacres capitalized on this moment, following up with precise shots that set the tone for the remainder of the fight.

The Finish

In the seventh round, Dacres landed a big right hand, followed by a left hook and another right hand, which sent Webster down again. This time, Webster's body language indicated he was in no condition to continue, prompting the referee to stop the fight, awarding Dacres the TKO victory.

Reflections and Future Prospects

Despite the victory, Dacres acknowledged that there is room for improvement. He exhibited moments of passivity, especially in the early rounds, where he could have committed more to his jab and applied consistent pressure. His performance, however, demonstrated resilience and the ability to adapt, critical attributes for any boxer aiming to climb the ranks.

The victory over Webster is a confidence booster, especially given the contentious nature of their first encounter. Moving forward, Dacres is eyeing more significant challenges, with potential matchups against fighters like David Adeleye, who had to pull out of their planned fight due to injury.
