James Gallagher suffers brutal first-round KO against Ricky Bandejas

It was the 21-year-old’s comeback bout.

JAMES GALLAGHER SUFFERED his first career defeat at the hands of Ricky Bandejas last night at Bellator 204.

The Strabane native was vocal about his prospects in the trash-talk heavy build-up to the fight, but Gallagher was rocked in this first round by Bandejas and he completed the job with an impressive finish.
