Jamaica - Super Middleweight
We have 3 Super Middleweights. Top seeded Otis Grant recieves the bye.
Semi-Final:
Chris Johnson vs Richard Grant - Johnson dictated the pace and Grant landed punches in bunches to punish him for doing so, but it was the pure aggression and power that took the day as Grant won the decision in a very entertaining bout. Mike Hanson and I had it 10-4 for Johnson, and the judges scored it 9-4, 7-7, 11-3 for Johnson by split decision. Most of the fans were booing the 2nd referee. but they were pleased that the right man made it to the next fight.
Final:
Otis Grant vs Chris Johnson - Grant danced as if his life depended on it, keeping the bobbing and weaving Johnson at bay for most of the fight, building up a lead when in the 13th he zigged when he should have zagged and ran into a short hook flush on the temple that sent Grant pitching forward for an 8 count! Johnson waded in for the kill and later in the round landed a huge cross that put Grant out for the count! Johnson moves forward to the World Tournament.
