🥊 PHOENIX BOXING CLUB — FIRST AMATEUR FIGHT! 🥊
A huge milestone for Phoenix Boxing Club today, with Kolby Buttle stepping into the ring for his very first amateur fight!
Kolby went up against a young boxer from Nash’s Gym, which, in my opinion, is one of the top three gyms in Western Australia.
Kolby gave away a bit in weight, age and experience, but we were still confident going into the fight.
He started off strongly, controlling the middle of the ring and holding his ground under pressure. His taller opponent used his jab very well and made it difficult for Kolby to get inside.
Despite Kolby’s best efforts across the three rounds, he didn’t get the decision.
But what a start to Phoenix Amateur Boxing! 🔥🥊 The support from the gym was bloody awesome. Over 30 of us showing up and supporting our boxer, exactly what Phoenix is all about 🔥🔥🔥
Kolby showed plenty of heart, courage and determination in his first ever amateur bout. There are plenty of positives to take away, and this is only the beginning.
Our next amateur tournament is the State Golden Gloves on the 18th and 19th of September, with:
🥊 Ruben — 75kg Golden Gloves
🥊 Locky — 80kg Bronze Gloves
🥊 Kolby Buttle — 57kg Schoolboy Bronze Gloves
🥊 Darcy Buttle — 63kg Schoolgirl Bronze Gloves
Hopefully they all get matched and we can come away with four victories! 🏆
Well done, Kolby. What a way to start the Phoenix Amateur Boxing journey! ❤️🥊
