Tony
(Lightning) Luis of Champs Boxing goes head to head with (Super) Dave
Lemieux of Russ Anber's Ring 83 in Montreal, Qc. in an exhebition bout.
This was a very technical fight from both boxers. Tony started slow
feeling his opponent out and being very cautious. David is a good power
puncher and out-weighed Tony by 12 lbs. This was speed vs power and
these two fighters put on a great display of technique. There are no
winners or losers in an exhebition fight.
Matt
(Maddog) Veenstra of Champs Boxing Club stops Dan Mooney of Barrie,
On. in a third round TKO. The moment Matt made his way to the ring it
was obvious the this local kid was a home town favorite. What an exabition
these two fighters put on. Matt gave back better than he got from Dan.
These two guy's went to war and from what I saw Dan Mooney was one tough
customer. Good work Matt! You made us proud.
Sarah
Landon in the (red) corner loses a decision to Lauralou Fortin of Levis,
Qc. This was Sarah's first fight, and she made us proud. Sarah came
out with both barrels firing. I thought that Sarah won the first two
rounds and gave up the third. Even though the win eluded Sarah, this
young lady proved that she can get into the ring and compete, and that
lady's and gentlemen makes Sarah a winner.
Glen
Murdock hailing out of the Kingston Youth in Kingston, On. stops Brian
Beauparlant of Montreal, Qc. in the second round. This was a heavy weight
division and these two big guy's were strong and put on a good show
with lots of action.
Jesse
Thompson (red) from Russ Anber's Ring 83 in Montreal, Qc. defeats Max
Irwin of the Fight Factory in Peterborough, On. Jesse was off to a slow
start, testing the waters early. Jesse and Max had some good exchanges
and pleased the crowd.
Tyler
Cross out of the Belleville Boxing Club in Belleville, On. wins on points
over Kyle Neville of the Uptown Boxing Club in Barrie, On. Tyler started
off a bit slow but fought a good technical fight.
Dustin
Forrester hailing from Peterborough, On. wins over Eric Caron of Levis,
Qc. By the third round this two fighters started to show signs of fatigue,
but only from a good aggressive fight and filled with lots of action.
These two guy's gave the the crowd on hand a great show.
Joe
Corzon in the (red) corner of Kingston Youth, in Kingston, On. edges
out Paul Clavet in the (white) of Club Champion out of Montreal, Qc.
in a judges decision. This was the main event and a very hard one to
judge at that. These two middleweights were very technical and their
speed was evident. Paul's coach was not pleased with the decision and
it showed. You can't win them all.
Maxime
Gagne ( in blue shirt) of Levis, stops Philipe Laplante of the Ottawa
Beaver Club in the third round. It was a good action filled fight. Both
fighters fought well and entertained the crowd.
Isabel
Parent of the Ottawa Beaver Club defeats Leah Baskin of Kingston, On.
It was a good fight and these two ladies fought hard and provided the
crowd with lots of action.
Mario
Crespo in the (black) Montreal, Qc. gets the judges decision over Dillon
Perkins from Kingston, On. It was a good fight and both fighters fought
well.
Matt
Veenstra in the sweat shirt with the hood chats with Tony Luis
and David Lemieux after their exhebition fight. Matt has a smile on
his face and so he should, this being his second back to back knockout.
Remember his name you will be hearing it for a long time to come.
