Patraw are all
competing in the under 19 tournament in Colorado Springs, CO at the Olympic
Training Center.
in the tournament. The tournament began Aug. 30th and ends Sept. 3rd.
Champions of the tournament will have the opportunity to travel to Finland
and represent the United States in
International competition. None of the Minnesota boxers competed on Aug.
30th. Three of the Minnesota boxers competed on Aug. 31st. Derek
Winston, boxing at 132 pounds, competed against Saul Lomas from Fresno,
CA. Derek lost his bout in the second round (RSCH). It was Derek's first
national tournament so he said his nerves got the best of him. He plans
on
competing in the PAL tournament in Oct. in Oxnard, California and realizes
he needs to take his training much more serious and run much more.
Jamal James competed against Xavier Burgos from Miramar, FL also
in the 132 lbs division. Jamal won his bout in the second round (RSC).
He stopped his opponent with a nice body shot. He said his timing was
on but his sharpness was off because of nerves. He is excited about advancing
to the quarterfinals and feels the nerves and edginess is off now.
David Amundson competed against Ernest Reyna from Corpus Christi,
TX 152 lbs division. David won his bout by points. David was losing the
bout in the first and second round but was able to turn the heat up in
the third and fourth round and pull off the win. David also advances to
the quarterfinals.
------------
Quaterfinals,
Sept 1st, Jamal James and David Amundson competed
from Minnesota. Jamal James boxed Prenice Brewer from Cleveland,
OH. Jamal came out in the first round and part of the second round with
a lot of energy. He was sharp and utilizing his reach to his benefit.
He began to slow down and get tired in the middle of the second round.
The third and fourth round Jamal would begin the round nice and sharp
landing points. Unfortunately when he began to get tired he stopped using
his reach and throwing punches. He lost the bout by points. David Amundson
competed against Peter Haro from Inglewood, CA. David came out strong
but could not catch Peter to land many scoring blows. Peter was much faster
and was able to land more points than David. David lost the bout by points.
Brad Patraw is competing in the 112 lbs division semi-finals. Stay
tuned for results. The coaches for Minnesota are Sankara Frazier from
Circle of Discipline and John Johnson from Rice Street gym. There are

Results
From UpperCut
By Ryan Hamilton
Last night Uppercut
delivered another exciting night of Amateur bouts.
The action packed night began with COD's Alex Atempa fighting Rochester's
Tim Meyer at 150 pounds. I had the first round even between these guys.
They both went out there and threw solid nonstop combinations the first
round. The first half of the second round was ALL Alex, he made Meyer
miss then made him pay. He was very elusive but Meyer kept coming forward
he never backed up. He threw just as many bombs as Atempa. In the third
round it looked as though Atempa ran out of steam but he was still light
on his feet and still made Meyer miss a lot. I thought Atempa won this
fight for sure. Tim Meyer by Dec.
At 154 pound, Pat Szthmany was up against Chipewa Falls' Damien Lannet.
Eh, this fight was ok. Lannet had this long reach that he couldn't use
because Szthmany crowded him. But when Szthmany got on the inside it was
like he couldn't put his punches together. By the third round, Szthmany
let up on applying pressure. Big mistake. Lannet let those longs arms
go and scored right before the bell to end round three. Damien Lannet
by Dec.
White Bear's Danny Jones was definitely the busier fighter in his match
against T. J. Stewart from Wadena. Whether he landed anything or not is
a completely different story. Jones tried his best to work that jab and
several combinations. Stewart landed punches and tried to jab, but being
much taller then Jones made it harder for him to chase him down. Jones
also knew that when he stopped moving he got hit. So, Jones kept trying
to frustrate Stewart by making him miss and trying to get him to give
up his height. I thought Danny Jones fought a good fight. T. J. Stewart
by dec.
At 158 pounds, C.O.D's Ezequel Guierrez lost to White Bear's D. J. Anderson.
It was a long bloody 3 rounds between the horribly inactive, Nick Lawton
from Rice Street and White Bear's Andrew Nelson. Nelson by dec.
Oscar Soto from Rice Street and Jeremiah Soft from Silver Lake fought
at
125 pounds. This was my second favorite fight of the night. Soto dominated
this fight in every round with his solid combos and fast hands. Very nice!
Soto by Dec.
Uppercut's Alex Vasquez was up against St. Cloud's Walter Mastey. I thought
Vasquez was controlling this fight from the first round on. He did a good
job sticking and moving, and staying light on his feet. In the second
round Mastey began using his jab a lot. Vasquez went down from what looked
to me to be a slip but the ref gave him a standing eight count and ruled
it a knockdown. I thought the slip threw him off his game plan a little.
Mastey by Dec.
And in the final fight of the night, Uppercuts Alfonso Vasquez scored
an impressive win over Dwayne Steward.
See you guys next month!
Oct.
23rd Uppercut Show Results
By Ryan Hamilton
Saturday, October
23rd, Lisa Bauch and the Uppercut Gym hosted the first of many Amateur
shows this fall. There were 11 bouts, each bout was 3 rounds.
Heavy hitter Adnan Ali from Circle of Discipline went to work right away
in the first round against Uppercuts Chris Anderson. Ali was vicious EVERY
round. In the third round Ali jabbed Anderson on the same spot in chest
every time. After three rounds of punishment Adnan Ali won by Dec.
112 pounders Max Clifford from ACR fought St. Clouds John Hall. This was
an ok fight with John Hall being knocked down in the 3rd round and then
having a standing 8 count. Max Clifford winning by Dec.
At 135 pounds, ACR's Robin Caulkins vs. White Bear Lake's Sam Barton had
to be my favorite fight of the night. Caulkins had this BEAUTIFUL jab
that he used to irk Barton with. Barton went from flustered to frustrated
in no time. He just couldn't get around that jab. Robin Caulkins won by
Dec. Nice Job Robin!
St. Clouds Curt Brown beat White Bear Lake's Micah Thompson at 160 pounds.
In the next fight 150-pound fight of the night, Luke Cassikert from ACR
fought Brunetteâ€s Cesar Benavides. It was a nice first
round for Cesar. After every combo Cesar threw, it looked as if Luke didn't
know what to do next. In the second round Luke tried to pick up the pace
a little bit but just couldn't keep up with Cesar's fighting style. Cesar
B by Dec.
JR Robinson from Leech Lake beat White Bear Lake's Danny Jones.
Also fighting at 150 pounds were Brunette's Dave Bebeau against Uppercuts
Jeffery Ratliff. I had this fight tied in the first round. I gave the
second round to Bebeau because Ratliff looked spent. Bebeau did a good
job of keeping Ratliff off balance by moving him backwards. Ratliff won
the third round. Both these guys had heart. Bebeau by Dec.
After the intermission Circle of Disciplines Ezequil Gutierrez beat White
Bear Lakeâ€s Bob Oâ€Leary by Dec.
Raymando Papasadora from Leech beat St Cloud's Matt Nikodyn. Raymando
dominated most of this fight. Nikodyn didn't throw one single punch in
the 2nd round.
Papasadora won by Dec.
In the final fight of the night Uppercuts Alex Vasquez took on White Earth's
Glen Sommers. I had the first round even but Vasquez took the second and
third round easily. Heavyweight Alex Vasquez went on to win by Dec.
It was a great night of fights! The next fight night will be on November
20th at 7pm. Hope to see you there!

Tournament
Finals At Canterbury Park
By Ryan Hamilton
The night began
with 141 Pound Dagney Willey from Minnesota going up against Wisconsin's
Laura Savage. This was a good female fight. Willey dominated every round
and went on to win by decision.
At 145 pounds, Wisconsin's Krista Savage got the decision over Minnesota's
Heather Hutchens
At 167 pounds, Duluth's Anston Griggs faced off against Uppercut's Alfonso
Vasquez.
I wasn't sure what to make of this fight at first. It kind of looked like
a mismatch. Vasquez dominated the fight but Griggs countered more. Vasquez
is a badass fighter BUT I do believe that if at any point Griggs would
have landed any of those haymakers he was throwing, Vasquez would have
been laid out. Which brings me to the next fight.
In 1:20 seconds of the first round, a left hook delivered COD's by Wilton
Hilario sent ACR's Derrick Winston to the canvas. And that was all she
wrote.
Minnesota's Cerreso Fort beat Nebraska's William Quaintana by decision.
At 135 pounds Bobby Cleaver fought Nebraska's Roger Hernandez. There was
a nice exchange in the first round. In the second round Cleaver showed
off his fierce jab. And after taking turns slamming each onto the canvas
in third round, Cleaver won by dec.
At 150 pounds, Wisconsin's Ben Flaklud beat Minnesota's Adam Langino by
Dec.
The final fight of the night left a bad taste in everyones mouth. I dont
want to take anything away from Oscar Soto, so I'll keep my opinion on
this very bad call, to myself. Soto by Dec. I look foreward to seeing
these guys fight again in the future.
Congrats to Dagney
Willey, Alfonso Vasquez, Ben Flaklud, Krista Savage, Cerreso Fort, Wilton
Hilario, Bobby Cleaver and Oscar Soto on being The 2004 Canterbury Park
Golden Glove Champs!
Fight
Night at Canterbury Park
By Ryan Hamilton
Last Thursday
night was the first of two nights of Championship finals. There were only
four fights but they were very exciting!
In the first of four 3 round/2 minute matches, Jeremy Kirschner from Minnesota
was up against North Dakota's Tyler Hultin. This fight was so exciting
and it set the pace for the night. They both stayed busy in the first
and second rounds. Then in the third round Kirschner got a standing eight
count. He went on but lose by decision.
At 190 pounds,
Wisconsin's Earl Butts met Minnesota's Luke McDevitt for the second time.
McDevitt went right to work on Butts body. Butts immediately threw a quick
one-two followed by a hook and sent McDevitts down, the ref gave him a
standing 8 count and waved it off. Earl Butts won the 43 second fight
by RSC.
Minnesota's Derrick Winston beat North Dakota's Eli Ugstad in the 137
pound weight class.
And finishing up a great night of amateur boxing was Minnesota's Ricky
Johnson and North Dakota's Tanner Holtin. Tanner Holtin won Dec.
Congratulations to Tyler Hultin, Earl Butts, Derrick Winston, and Tanner
Holtin for being the 2004 Canterbury Park Golden Gloves Champions!!
