Nassim Hammett made his debut as a flyweight in 1992 and the man who always said he was destined for greatness began it all in April of that year in Mansfield. His opponent was the none-too-demanding Ricky Beard. He just had nine fights, one only two of them and seemed a perfect choice of opponent against a debut under whom great things were expected. Beard probably knew exactly what to expect too. Hammett had already been making waves in the local press and the cocky teenager from Sheffield was already talking up a storm. It was scheduled for six rounds but Hammett confidently believed it wouldn't go the distance. This is the ring debut of one of the biggest names in world boxing in the 1990s. A man who even at an early age, you just had a make an entrance. Commentary comes from Jim McDonald and David Brenner. Well ladies and gentlemen, this contest is a flyweight contest at eight stone two pounds over six three-minute rounds introducing in the red corner with the blue and the gold shorts from Dagonham, Ricky Beard. Our ladies and gentlemen in the blue corner with the leopard skin shorts from Sheffield making his professional debut, Prince and Nazine Haileh. The ladies and gentlemen in the way in today both boxer scale and eight stone two pounds. Your referee for this contest is Paul Thomas and Darby and your tanky-well Northern Balance. Paul Thomas, another referee that we've seen up to times on ProWalks most rattly when he disqualified Aemon Lachron up in Berry against Tony Acubia. Brave decision that. So Paul Thomas is not a man to be trifled with and any little bits of gamesmanship that Hammett tries. I'm sure that Paul Thomas will come down in quite hard. Round one then. Nazine is a South Pole but he's very unorthodox and throws punches off over four and over hand. Very very fast hands. Ricky Beard, he won his first two professional bites inside the distance and since then six defeats on a draw and he's a far better fighter than that record suggests far better. Now Ricky can punch for far better as well he carries a blue pair in the right. Absolutely. And Nazine needs to remember that and his first three minutes of this round is very important for Nazine to get out of his system. Now despite all these experiences in the junior ranks and so forth. Now this is like the first fight again, really in a professional ranks. Now he mixes and trains and always has done with the likes of Bob McGrown, Johnny Nelson to main butt so. It's a tough fight for your first pro fight. Very much so. Is that right Anne? You're quick Nazine, bang on. You can take a shot. It certainly proved it there but Ricky, hitting bang on the chin now. He come back far and good time. You need to stay tight. And interestingly enough, these rounds are three minute and not two minute duration. Is that right Anne again? It may take a little bit of fron boyfriends away from Nazine. I hope so. For his sake. I'd like to see, you know, it's not always the top juniors that make his top professionals and if it goes a few rounds, three or four, I've been interested to see Nazine copes. Right hand back down. That was a touchdown. Just briefly. Paul Thomas waves it on. Nazine's a little bit out of it. That was given a great deal of confidence, not that he lacks confidence in you. The only fighter to be looking there inside the distance is Robbie Regan. And the British champion is not forgotten. So good. Ricky doing the right things, staying cool. We're looking so low that we don't want to ride. Fascinating first for a few minutes. It's certainly very, very quick. Quick and very confident. A lot of roar edges. Mark you. Is any 18? Let's make two out. And he will feel a lot better after that. I'm sure you will. He flushed three minutes. Nazine's career is in their history. If he starts to relax now flow, we may see what they've been talking about. Speed, the power and the class. Ricky, as I said, is not intimidated. He's showing that. He's showing that. He's showing that. You can see Nazine arrogantly saying no from Ricky Landy shots. But. First night in matchup. Good fight. Little smear of beer. You can see Nazine. You can see Nazine. You can see Nazine. You can see Nazine. You can see Nazine. Good fight. Little smear of blood underneath beer. To nose. Ricky beard. Grinning back up. Nazine, he's enjoying this. Are we all matching for gamesmanship? Don't worry about that. I always like Ricky Beers. 100% wholehearted fighter. Absolutely. I'm sorry. Tough practice in fur. Nazine, particularly if it goes beyond the third round. It'd be interesting to see because Ricky always gets himself in good shape. And he'll relax as well. And the physical advantage is that Ricky possesses over Nazine. Perhaps nothing for another noise. It's all a long time. Look like a whole division of having really. We're darsely right. You can almost sense the frustration he falls. He can't get nearer. Good shot. Body shot. Thank you, Barragans. It's a good shot. Ricky, you do well to get over it. Really took the win down to yourselves. That's all over. Well. The light young man doing his flips, for all to say. You look at this body shot because you will not see many better this year, Jimmy. It's the leverage he gets into it. There you see him setting Ricky up on. Bang! Right through the middle.
