Liddard made a dent in Conway in the ninth, as Conway backed away he landed a stiff jab upstairs and followed it up with a right hand that looked low. Conway instantly grabbed his crotch in pain, but the referee Mark Bates was having none of it. Liddard piled on the pressure, and Conway was forced to take a knee from the pain. Conway returned to his feet and fought through an onslaught, but things got worse in the tenth. Liddard charged forwards and clipped Conway with a right hand that saw him stumble to the corner. Conway was dazed and Liddard continued to beat him. As Conway again stumbled into the corner, his corner flung in the towel. Although Conway disagreed with their decision, he accepted that it marked the end and returned to his stool. Liddard leapt onto the ropes and was met by a roar from the York Hall crowd. Liddard had done what no man before him had before and stopped Conway, who is now 23-4-1 (7 KOs). And Liddard, trained by Tony Sims, did it in style, too.
