KINGSTEIGNTON super featherweight Jamie Speight's ring education in the paid ranks continued with all the boxes ticked after a fourth consecutive success over Sid Razak at Swindon.

He claimed a deserved 40-36 points verdict against the Birmingham stalwart after a confident and polished display against a very dangerous opponent.

Razak was in his face from the bell but Speight, who had studied countless videos of his rival ahead of the fight, saw all his homework pay off.

Speight, 21, proved slick and nimble on the counter as he got behind the jab to land precise right hands to both head and body. Razak, a veteran of 43 previous encounters, found himself in the rare position of being forced onto the back foot and looked very uncomfortable in the situation.

Speight grew in confidence as the four-round clash progressed, unleashing more shots from his repertoire in the process. And he never flinched when Razak landed some of his trademark rights in the last two rounds when the Brummie knew that a points decision was well beyond his grasp.

Speight said: "Watching all the tapes of Sid in action over and over again was a very wise move and set me up with a number of options for the fight.

"I could vary my approach and it left him second guessing as to which Jamie Speight would emerge from the corner at the start of the next round. At this stage of my career I'm still learning and that is how I'll approach my next fight in the New Year.

WBA heavyweight champion David Haye believes fellow boxers Amir Khan and Carl Froch are unfortunate not to be joining him among the BBC Sports Personality of the Year contenders.

Haye, who claimed a portion of the heavyweight title against Russian giant Nikolay Valuev last month, will be up against nine other British sporting stars in the running on Sunday.

And the 29-year-old Londoner believes WBA light-welterweight champion Khan and WBC super-middleweight king Froch are unlucky not to be joining him on the list.

"I think this has been a great year for British boxing, and one that has seen the arrival of the new breed," said Haye. "Carl Froch and Amir Khan were probably both unfortunate to miss out on being nominated, as they've both also been fantastic this year. So long as we all keep winning, next year could be massive for British boxing. It would be nice to have a hat-trick of British boxers on the podium at next year's show."
