Three Warriors boxers out today. Coach Stu went with Oliver Wachowiz, Dominic Quigley and Bassel Ibrahim to the Atherstone home show in the East Midlands. All boxers were competing against fighters from the home club.
First up was Oliver. Round one was a messy affair, styles didn't really gel and there was a lot of holding. Round two Oliver found a home for some good combination punching and saw the round out really well hurting his opponent. Round 3 started the same way, with Oliver landing some heavy blows and forcing the ref to issue a standing 8. Shortly after Wachowiz landed another flurry of heavy blows leading the ref to bring the contest to an end. Wachowiz wins RSC 3
Next up was Dominic in his second contest in a few weeks. From the off the taller warriors boxer took ring center and kept his opponent on the end of a sharp jab, once he got close, he let his hands go in clusters, regularly landing hurtful looking shots to head and body. We were not long in to the senior stanza when another flurry of shots would result in the home fighter receiving a standing 8. One or two busy spells later and following a big right uppercut the ref would have seen enough and called the contest to an end. Quigley wins RSC 2
Lastly was Bassel who decided to box despite being hampered by a two day long stomach issue. This on its own makes him a winner in my eyes. Round one was a super close affair, nothing to really split either fighter. Round two was much the same, close contest without a huge amount of clean work from either boxer, round three followed a similar pattern. At the end of 3 rounds, the judges found in favour of the home fighter by way of unanimous decision, but Ibrahim can find comfort in putting in a great shift despite being a long way from being fully fit.
