Shock defeat: For Dean Francis
The Bristol fighter had already been down once in the bout when Keeton caught him with a cleaner blow and Francis was unable to beat the count.
Earlier, Francis stopped Neil Simpson in the third and final round of their quarter-final.
In the final, Ovill McKenzie, a light-heavyweight, beat Keeton on points.
