Club activities
continued through the off season, two of note, both detailed
in full on our website were:
1. The
Awards Evening where Shaun Attrell took the converted
Senior boxer of the year trophy.
2. The
Summer Camp which was another roaring success enjoyed
by everyone who attended.
..........
The first
action boys were involved in this season was on the Stacy
ABC show in Portsmouth, where 4 of our lads made up half
of the bouts.
Early season
fitness was going to be a factor, however all our boys gave
it their all to ensure the show was a success.
Kyle Logan
was first to box against Sonny Barter of Stacy ABC. The
Portsmouth lads had trained through the summer in preparation
for their home show and the difference in ring fitness was
very apparent in this first bout. Kyle stuck in gamely but
couldn't halt Barter's progress who got stronger as the
fight went on, with the referee stepping in to stop the
contest in the 3rd round. Don't worry Kyle, it's a long
season, you're a talented lad who will come back stronger
than ever!
Next to
box was Jake Towse who was up against Michael Andrews for
the 3rd time in his last 4 bouts, having unanimously out
pointed him on the last 2 occasions.
In front
of his home crowd Andrews was fully committed to gaining
revenge and was awarded a paper thin majority points win
as his aggressive come forward style was preferred over
cleaner punching and ring craft in a bout best described
as a crowd pleasing brawl.
