Moran moves to 16-1

Waterford boxer Dylan Moran got life under Queensbury promotions off to an ideal start on Saturday evening, with the BT Sports debutant scoring a decision win over MJ Hall in Birmingham.

Set for the undercard at Frank Warren's Parker v Morrison card, Moran who hadn't set foot in exactly 365 days returned in emphatic fashion when he beat the English journeyman over six rounds.

The Kilmacthomas native had expected a more high profile opponent for his opening night on the UK Sports Network, but a late change saw well travelled MJ Hall (2-67-2) step in to fulfill the fight.
