Flaherty controlled the fight from the first bell moving well and using his range and combinations effectively.

Ferguson felt the power of Flaherty and received standing eight counts in all three rounds, but after receiving a second count in the third round the referee had no choice but to put a stop to the punishment.

This was an impressive, strong and relentless performance from Flaherty who should go on to bigger and better things.
