On Sunday, June 5th, 2005 in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, Huf Executive
Fitness held an exciting amateur boxing show that featured 11 matches.
These matches ranged from Cadet A’s through to the Senior division. The gym
was full and the crowd anticipated an awesome show and they were not
disappointed. Each match was evenly contested and very exciting.
The show was well organized for both the boxers and the fans. There was loud
music, great refreshments and a superb boxing atmosphere. Each boxer
received a well earned award for their matches regardless if they won or
lost. There was good sportsmanship shown by the boxers, coaches, and fans.
In my estimation the show was a success.
The third match of the afternoon featured two women in the Senior 135 pound
division. Stephanie Swayne from the Cabbagetown boxing club in
Toronto boxed Liz Zacharski who fights out of the Jamestown boxing
club in Brampton. Both women displayed excellent boxing abilities over the
three rounds however Swayne controlled the action by using her jab and
effective head movements. Zacharski was able to land many counter punches
but could not press the action. In the end Swayne got the decision victory.
Brock Arthur from the Tiller boxing club in Ajax stopped Ernesto Portillo
from Waterloo in a three round Senior heavyweight match up. Arthur
controlled much of the action and landed solid punches to the head and body
of Portillo. Ernesto gave a gallant effort standing toe to toe with Arthur
but the referee stopped the match.
Match number seven was a slugfest between two twelve year olds in the Cadet
A division. This was the best match of the afternoon in my opinion. Shaun
Boodsingh from the Champion boxing took on Garret Laird from the Big Tyme
boxing club in Orangeville.
As mentioned this was a slugfest and both boxers never stopped swinging the
entire match. There had to have been over two hundred punches thrown by both
boxers over the course of the match. The crowd was on its feet the entire
time and never stopped screaming and cheering. Both boxers received standing
eight counts at different times in the match. It was such a close match but
in the end Laird got the decision victory. With the win, Laird earned the
“fighter of the show” award. It was a great show by both boxers and they
deserve a lot of credit.
The main event of the evening featured Dan Ludwig from Hamilton against
Huf’s own Jonathan Rego. This was a three round Senior bout in the 175lbs
weight division. Both boxers started off cautiously but the action soon
picked up. Rego pressed the advantage and pushed Ludwig to the ropes with
effective power shots. Ludwig was backing up most of the match and received
one standing eight count; however he landed successful counter punches and
used great defensive abilities. It was by no means a one-sided match. Dan
Ludwig landed just as many power punches but could not press the advantage
as well as Rego could. In the end Rego won a hard fought decision. It was an
excellent main event and both boxers received the applauds they both richly
deserved.
Other results were:
Jason Roberts (Cabbagetown) defeated Mike McWilliams (Big Tyme)
David Bracken defeated David Gibson (Huf)
Robbie Shewel (Uptown) defeated Zishan Khan (Champion)
Colton Lormand (Big Tyme) beat James Kilby (Steeltown)
