First Win & Skills Bout of the Season

The boxing season got off to a great start for Mickey's ABC last week. Taking two Juniors to Locky's ABC Show in Barnsley, saw Piers Pickard (13) and Jamie Tomlinson(12) get the season off to a flying start. Piers Pickard opened the evening with the first ever skills bout for the club. This is were Piers and his opponent demonstrate their boxing skills in each of the three one and a half minute rounds without the risk of full contact and there is no winner or runner up. Piers did an excellent job and came out of the ring confident and all fired up and can't wait for the next show. Jamie Tomlinson followed straight after Piers with the first competition bout of the evening. Nervous as he entered the ring Jamie soon settled delivering Hooks to his opponents body as his opponent left himself open, into the second round Jamie settled himself in the centre of the ring and worked his opponent round the outside. Tiring, his opponent left himself open and Jamie used his longer reach to his advantage delivering jabs and Backhands into his opponents scoring area. The third round saw Jamie moving round the ring with ease side stepping his opponents shots and looking for the opening to score again. The announcement was made the judges decision was unanimous Jamie had won 11-3 8-2 9-4 bringing the first win the club this season.
