The Gathering boxing fight night LIVE: Start time, scorecards and all the action as Dane Swan, Kane Cornes and Mitch Robinson make their boxing debuts

Capper's corner want more head movement from their man, who loves sitting straight in front of the Russian. He walks onto a jab in the first minute, but gets one through after backing Vorobev into a corner.

Commentator and Aussie boxing legend Barry Michael rates Capper's boxing in this round, he's listened to his corner and isn't getting hit as cleanly as he was in the first - but his hands look slow compared to Vorobev.

The Russian tries a right hand lead and misses, falls back on his jab. Capper lands with a light right hand, gets hit to the body, then a right.

Strong finish from Vorobev but not enough to take it.

10-9 Capper

The usual feeling out, jab-heavy period, with the Russian getting through first. Great jab on him - accurate, quick and stiff as a board.

Vorobev is trying to catch Capper with the left hook when the Sandgroper tries to come in and hit the body.

Nice right hand gets Capper off balance but he's not hurt. That Vorobev jab is textbook stuff.

Capper owns the centre of the ring and Vorobev looks happy with that. It's clearly the Russian's round.

10-9 Vorobev

Capper has emerged wearing one of those little baseball caps with a propeller on the top. Looks like Green was right with his 'mad as a bag of cats' description.

Daily Mail's correspondent has been watching fights for decades and has never seen that. Not even Tyson Fury or Floyd Mayweather would dare go down that fashion road.

Perth product Wes Capper takes on Sergei Vorobev in a middleweight clash to kick off proceedings.

Capper is a former state boxing champ and Australian Muay Thai champ with a 22-5-1 record in the pro ranks - plus he is experienced in MMA. Danny Green rates him highly, having sparred him many times.

Vorobev is Russian-born, based in Australia and boasts a 20-2-0 record. Like many Russian fighters, he has a rep as a technician with great technique.

Green reckons Capper is 'mad as a bag of cats'.

The Aussie boxing great rated the skills and heart of the footy players on tonight's card - and he had some words of praise for the controversial Port star.

The Collingwood great loves his boxing training - it's been his main way of keeping fit in retirement - and he has dropped a lot of weight for his bout with Dale Thomas, some of it in very... unorthodox fashion.
