Magee, who faces the Commonwealth and British super middleweight champion in March, floored the Belarussian in round two and a halt was quickly called.

Michael Gomez's Irish lightweight bout with Peter McDonagh on the same bill is under investigation after the discovery of unusual betting patterns.

The former British champion was stopped after turning his back on McDonagh.

Dublin-born Gomez had been control of the fight but dropped his guard after taking a left hand in round five, although he did not appear to be hurt.

McDonagh followed up and the referee waved the fight over after a flurry of unanswered punches.

According to the RT� Sport website, both fighters will have their purses withheld pending the results of an Irish Boxing Union inquiry.

Bernard showed a lot of class and a lot of maturity Bernard Dunne's manager Brian Peters

Bookmaker Boyle Sports told RT� that it had suspended betting on the fight when it noticed an unusual pattern of betting on McDonagh winning in the fifth, sixth or seventh rounds.

McDonagh had been 125/1 to win in the fifth on Saturday morning, but the odds had been cut to 18/1 by mid-afternoon.

McDonagh, who has more defeats than victories, put his victory down to the help of paranormalist Uri Geller, who was at ringside to witness the upset.

In the main fight on the National Stadium bill, former European bantamweight champion Noel Wilders was expected to provide a good test for unbeaten prospect Bernard Dunne

But the Dublin prospect dominated from the opening bell and midway through the sixth round two powerful body shots sent Wilders to the canvas.

Although the Castleford man got to his feet he could provide no answer to Dunne's further assault and as he backed up to the ropes the referee stepped in at two minutes and four seconds.

Dunne's manager Brian Peters said the win was a significant step towards a showdown with European super bantamweight champion Michael Hunter later in the year.

"That was a fine performance from Bernard against a tough opponent and I would like to think within the next six to nine months Bernard will be in with Hunter," said Peters.

"Bernard showed a lot of class and a lot of maturity which pleased me a lot and the future certainly looks bright."
