After stoppage victories in all four of his fights across 24 weeks to kickstart his professional career, it's easy to forget Taylor Bevan is still only just getting his feet wet in the paid ranks.

First-year pro referee Rocky Israel's sharp intervention stopped the 24-year-old from adding another highlight reel finish to his fast-growing collection, though he saved Argentina's Juan Cruz Cacheiro (7-5, 3 KOs) from further punishment.

It felt like deliberate matchmaking when reminded of the 32-year-old's most recent assignment, against Bevan's old amateur rival Aaron Bowen (5-0, 3 KOs) went the distance on March 1. Here, it never looked like going the full six rounds and while the Southampton-born youngster was noticeably underwhelmed by the finishing sequence, it speaks to his capabilities more than anything else.

"I'm feeling okay, a bit disappointed with my performance and when I was in there, I felt like it was stopped a little bit early," he told The Ring post-fight.

"I had a bit more to give, as the rounds progressed, I would've got into my groove more and performed better. Overall though, yeah I'm happy to get the stoppage."

It's a good problem to have. He hasn't heard the bell for round three in any outing yet, from his Birmingham bow November 30, two London trips and a Manchester away day sandwiched between them.

He picked his shots very well to head-and-body, as has been a theme in his work, and while watching him pierce through Cacheiro's defences you could be forgiven for thinking you were watching a different sport.

The rowdy atmosphere generated by his vocal fans serenading him had a more football feel than boxing, especially on the non-televised portion of a domestic bill around 6pm local time.

During Thursday's press conference, he couldn't explain why his supporters were "so wild" but the 2022 Commonwealth silver medallist's style makes for exciting viewing and they've proven they will travel for the privilege. Next time out, they won't have to go far.

"I'll be out again in ten weeks, a bit closer to home, I think it'll be Bournemouth so I'm really looking forward to that, hopefully get loads of support down there, staying nice and active like I have been since my debut."

Seven months after it was made official that he'd signed a long-term promotional contract, turning pro with Eddie Hearn's Matchroom stable, he's already learning plenty under trainer Colin Jones.

"I'm pacing myself with training, not overdoing it, learning to make the weight properly and refuelling too, just learning all the time and it's part of the journey, providing me with brilliant experience that will put me in good stead in the future when I'm in those 50-50 fights."

Featuring on a bill that had Southern Area, English and British title fights following him at cruiser and middleweight, Bevan believes he's ready for those higher levels now but knows he doesn't need to rush through the gears against unheralded opposition.

When asked at the end of an eventful evening at the Copper Box Arena, Hearn couldn't agree more.

"I want to just fast-forward Taylor to British title fights now. We're not going to, but I know he's good enough for it. We've just got to give him another two or three fights before we start stepping up the levels, he's got incredible support and is an amazing fighter."

SA Smith (4-1-1, 1 KO) won the vacant Southern Area title in his sixth pro fight, three months after being dropped and outpointed over six rounds by George Liddard (12-0, 7 KOs) on a Brentwood show last summer.

Liddard has boxed four times since then, collecting the Commonwealth Silver title in his first main event matchup against Derrick Osaze (13-3, 3 KOs) on January 31, before brushing Aaron Sutton aside with a fifth-round stoppage during his final eliminator for British middleweight honours on this bill.

His gymmate and divisional counterpart Jimmy Sains (10-0, 9 KOs) just notched his first professional strap after going the ten-round distance for the first time against Gideon Onyenani. Bevan is a month younger than the older of the Essex duo. The point is, time flies.

"This is the right time to learn, I'd rather that than learn on-the-job in a hard fight. I'll be looking at that title route in the next couple of years, sure," Bevan continued.

"I thought it'd be tougher to get him [Cacheiro] out of there and looked to break him down late, I've boxed at the highest level as an amateur internationally - I know how good my boxing ability is - when the time comes and I need to use that, you'll see exactly what I'm about."
