By the fourth, the separation was clear. Maca closed distance again and landed a clean uppercut that visibly shook Chircop. Moments later, with the pressure on and no answer coming back, Chircop’s corner threw in the towel, resulting in a round-four retirement.
Maca moves to 5-0 with the win, continuing a string of early career shutouts that have come through crowding and controlled aggression rather than single-shot knockouts. Chircop drops to 8-4 after the loss.
In response to the DAZN broadcast, promoter Eddie Hearn pointed to visible development in Maca’s approach.
“You can already see the improvements. It was night and day compared to his pro debut,” Hearn said. “He’s always going to have heavy hands, but you can set it up, and you have to do it against opponents like that as you step up. It’s crazy to think he’s five fights in. It’s crazy to think he’s still 18, and he’s an outstanding talent.”
The match took place on the undercard of the George Liddard vs. Tyler Denny event, part of a streamed Matchroom Boxing show live on DAZN.
At 18, Maca remains in the early stages of his career, but this outing showed a more controlled approach and a distinct finish, making it his most complete performance to date.
