PROMISING prospect Jack Bateson produced a career-best display to dispatch Barcelona-based Nicaraguan Pablo Narvaez in less than a round (set for eight). Headlining a Bateson Promotions show inside Elland Road’s Banqueting Suite, Bateson was on the offensive from the first bell. The local’s first significant shot – a crunching left upstairs – hurt Narvaez, before the follow-up put him to the ground. Narvaez was on the canvas once more after a series of rights to the head. At 2-28, referee Ron Kearney intervened as Bateson again swarmed in with a barrage of blows.
