Lee McGregor improved his record to seven wins from seven fights

The Greenrigg-based Smith extended his record to 15-0 with opponent Ivan Montero deemed unable to continue after 10 rounds following a cut.

Elsewhere on the undercard it was a good night for the home fighters.

Welterweight Lewis Benson defeated Renald Garrido 77-75 on points.

Glasgow's Craig McIntyre made it 12 wins from 13 bouts after stopping Chris Addaway in the third round of their welterweight clash.

Motherwell's Reece McFadden took his professional record to 4-0 with a 60-54 win over six rounds against Joel Sanchez at super-flyweight.

Jack Turner and Craig Morgan defeated Misael Zeledon and Elvis Guillen respectively in four round fights.
