5 Gold For Boxing Team

August 2, saw The Boxing Shop Amateur boxing team take part in the annual South East Qld Titles at Beenleigh Arena.

Fist up we had Mitchell Coomer, who was competing in the light flyweight division,against Qld champion Luke Toope from Bethania Boxing club.The Bout was a rematch and Mitch was out to turn the tables on his opponent who outpointed him earlier in the year.”Mitchell boxed very well and stuck to the game plan” said head coach Gareth Williams. The bout ended with a 2 point win going to Mitchell.

Bout 2 for The Boxing Shop showed a 4th win in a row going to “The desTOIer” Toi Duong.”We had to give some weight away for this fight to go ahead and once again Toi came away with a very convincing win over his heavier opponent from the fighting fit gym.

Our 3rd bout was the very experienced Sam Leone who has recently joined our gym from the Australian Institute of sport.In Sam’s first outing for our team he did some good things that weve been working on in the gym.Sam was outpointed on the day but big things are expected from Sam towards the end ofthe Year.
Our 4th Bout was in the 69kg catergorie,with Dave Thompson coming up against the previously unbeaten David Lockhart from Sunnybank Boxing club.”Dave boxed brilliantly,moving on angles,turning his opponent and scoring with 3 punch combinations and he was getting stronger as the fight progressed….Dave is unbeaten this year and all his hard work is really paying off”said Williams.

17 year old Heavyweight (under 91kg) Gareth Bamin was next,who has recently accepted an invitation to be part of the Centre of excellance NTID Boxing programme.Gareth didnt have an opponent in his age and weight catergorie so we decide to step him up to the A division against senior opposition.”we were drawn a 23 year old who has had twice as many bouts as Gareth,but our team has ultimate faith in big G’s ability and maturity and we had no doubts that he would do the job”. Gareth went on to win the fight 11-4 against a very good boxer. “this kid can go all the way in Boxing,which ultimately means Olympic games medals”.
Tom Wakely was our final bout of the night.In only his third fight Tom looked exceptional,with fast movement and controlled aggresion which took him to a very comfortable third win in as many outings.
