An excellent bout to start the evening, both lads were accomplished boxers with bags of potential. Chaima was the busier of the two boys while Rhys was the more accurate, picking his shots well. Ultimately it was a very close bout and both corners were proud of the effort and performance their lad put in. The bout was awarded to Zac by a majority points decision.

Bout 2: R J Singh Brompton ABC LUPts Tony Pidgeley Woking ABC

A crowd pleasing bout between two lads from visiting clubs, Pidgeley from Woking ABC securing a unanimous points victory over the all action Singh of Brompton ABC. Both good lads are no doubt set to meet many times in the future should they stay at the same weight.

Bout 3: Billy Stewart Islington ABC LMPts Liam Foster Hastings West Hill ABC

Another excellent display from young Liam Foster who pressured his opponent Billy Stewart throughout their bout. Both lads are novice boxers and with refinement both are set to reach high levels in the junior ranks over the years to come. Liam secured a majority points victory and rounded off his induction into Hastings West Hill ABC team in style with 2 wins from his first 2 bouts.

Bout 4: A J Singh Brompton ABC LUPts Henry Bristow Hastings West Hill ABC

Henry just cannot stop winning at present and ground out another superb victory when everything looked stacked against him. His opponent A J Singh of Brompton ABC enjoyed an obvious physical advantage and set about pressuring Henry from the 1st bell but Henry cleverly took advantage of the fact that many of A J's punches were being thrown wide landing with the inside of the glove (non scoring), to step through the middle and land telling points scoring straight shots.

Bout 5: Guarav Saroye Woking ABC WUPts Rhys Murphey North Herts ABC

Another bout contested between two visiting boxers which proved to be a very tight contest, although Saroye claimed a unanimous victory he was pushed all the way by Murphey from North Herts ABC in a bout that provided 3 rounds of continuous toe to toe action.

Bout 6: Frank Smith Hailsham ABC WUPts Ray Penfold Bideford ABC

Former Hastings West Hill ABC national champion Frank Smith, now boxing for Hailsham ABC had a return bout with Ray Penfold of Bideford ABC who he had beaten previously this season. Frank put in a dominant display of accomplished boxing to secure a unanimous points decision against his opponent who should be commended for his continued effort throughout the bout.

Bout 7: Asher Wilson Islington ABC WUPts George Edwards Hastings West Hill ABC

George Edwards has been on quite a journey this year and the fact that he hasn't yet secured his first victory doesn't do testament to how far George has come. His bout with Asher Wilson of Islington ABC was by far his biggest step forward to date, as Wilson was a very accomplished boxer considering his novice status. Wilson forced George to take a standing count in the 1st round, many lads would have buckled but George "Manned Up" and got stuck in to take Wilson all the way and at times enjoy success with some excellent combinations. Asher secured a unanimous points victory but George "El Poco Mexicano" pushed him all the way and won the admiration of his team mates for putting in such a gutsy performance.

Bout 8: Richie Goodfellow Whitstable ABC LMPts Richard Grigg Bideford ABC (4 X 2 Mins rounds)

A superb bout of boxing between two accomplished seniors over 4 x 2 minute rounds that couldn't have been better matched or better fought had it taken place on a postage stamp. Both lads gave it their all and ended the bout spent of energy. After 3 tight rounds Grigg pushed home the advantage in the 4th to secure a majority points victory.

Bout 9: Jack Langford Bideford ABC LUPts Jake Towse Hastings West Hill ABC

Jake took on talented Jack Langford from Bideford ABC, who traveled 300 miles in the hope of toppling him but Jake ensured he sent his opponent home knowing he had been well beaten. Bideford ABC had obviously done their home work as they insisted on 3 X 2 min rounds instead of the usual 4 X 2mins, pinning their hopes on Langford being a fast starter. After a very close 1st round they may have been thinking their strategy had paid off but Jake dominated from the start of the 2nd round to the last bell scoring accurately to both head and body, applying consistent pressure that saw Langford back off more and more as the bout continued. Jake was awarded a unanimous points victory, with one judge scoring the bout 22 – 8 in his favour and was later awarded the “Best boxer of the night” trophy – A fitting tribute for such an excellent display of boxing.

Bout 10: Aaron Buff Woking ABC LUPts Kyle Logan Hastings West Hill ABC

Kyle and Aaron were meeting for the second time with Kyle holding a victory over Aaron from the previous encounter. Aaron the more experienced of the two boys was determined to overturn that loss and put every effort into forcing Kyle onto the back foot but Kyle was having none of it and began to dominate his opponent as the bout unfolded and finished the bout in style to secure a deserved unanimous points victory.

Bout 11: Michael Norris Brompton ABC LMPts Daine Finch Hastings West Hill ABC

Daine was entering the ring for his 6th bout but hadn't actually boxed in over 4 years, however he soon shook of any ring rust and got into a good rhythm. His opponent Michael Norris of Brompton ABC was a strong determined character who applied more than enough pressure to ensure Daine had to be at his best behind a rapier like jab that scored continuously. It was an excellent bout, which both lads should be proud of, as the action was relentless all the way to the end of the 3rd round. Daine securing a hard earned majority points victory.

Bout 12: Liam Webb Faversham ABC LUPts Steve Garlick Hastings West Hill ABC

What a humdinger of a bout of boxing! Both Steve and Liam would simply not give up and as one seemed to be yielding ground to his opponent he would turn the tables to have his opponent on the back foot. For the duration of the bout the crowd were on their feet shouting their favourite onto success. Ultimately it was Steve's accurate straight punches that swung the decision his way, but full respect to Liam who played his role superbly in ensuring the bout was awarded "Best bout of the night".

Bout 13: Dave Murphy Brighton City ABC WMPts Ben White Hastings West Hill ABC (4 X 2 Mins rounds)

Dave and Ben were meeting for the second time this season, with Ben holding a close points victory over Dave from their previous meeting. Dave from Brighton City ABC was certainly up for their return but had to play second fiddle during the first 2 rounds as Ben boxed extremely well. The bout was close going into the latter rounds and Murphy knew he had to step it up. He rose to the challenge and caught Ben with some heavy blows, however Ben in true White family style came back strong and tried to assert himself. The fourth and final round was where the bout was going to be decided and both boys gave their all to secure victory with Dave doing enough for the judges to secure a majority points victory.

Bout 14: Jason Townsend Hove ABC LUPts James McMahon Hastings West Hill ABC

On paper Jason Townsend vs James MacMahon would be a closely contested bout and one for the purists. The two lads didn't disappoint and it was a closely contested bout however James certainly had the advantage throughout and thoroughly deserved his unanimous point victory over his more experienced opponent.

Bout 15: Simon Hopkins Horsham ABC WUPts Fred Phelps Hastings West Hill ABC

Fred gave away a lot in age experience and weight to take on bruiser and former professional boxer Simon Hopkins of Horsham ABC but he didn't yield or flinch away from the task in front of him. Hopkins who makes for a daunting site as he stands in the opposing corner didn't leave anything outside the ring as he fired every weapon he had in his armoury at Fred, who reacted well by trying to use good footwork to avoid the rampaging hopkins. In such a small ring the only option was at times to stand toe to toe and that effort finally took it's toll on Fred and he had to endure a standing count. Un-swayed however fred came back strong and although losing a unanimous points decision he gained something just as rewarding, the respect and admiration of his far more experienced opponent who called a close on his boxing career in the ring that night, complementing Fred on his effort skill and overall durability.
