Ireland - Heavyweights - Semi-Finals & Final
Quarter-Finals:
Tom Sharkey vs Peter Maher - Sharkey started out fast, taking the first 2 rounds only to have the suprising Maher storm back to take the next 3 with clever boxing. In the 6th however he walked into a nasty combination that went upstairs, downstairs, and back upstairs again. Maher gamely tried to rise but fell back to the canvas as the count reached 10!
Con O'Kelley vs Jim Coffey - Coffey survived an early knockdown to take it to O'Kelley throughout to pull off the upset win by the score of 8-4, 6-5, 10-5.
Final:
Tom Sharkey vs Jim Coffey - Sharkey dominated throughout but really shined in the 5th and 6th before a cumulation of punches had Coffey out on his feet. The referee jumped in to end it at the 2:21 mark of round 6 for the TKO! Sharkey moves on to the World Tournament!
