Moment of the Match

It is not always the victor that is the hero. Things were going as expected for the most part as Washington led Ice Tea 7-1 heading into the final two matches, with Ice Tea's two best fighters on deck. John Henry Lewis brought the Chilton Cup back to Ice Tea with a sound thrashing of Lorenzo Zanon, leaving Joe Walcott to face 2-8-1 Tor Hamer. It looked at best that Washington would leave with a draw and at worst that their 7 match winning streak could come to an end. Queue Hamer, who after getting pounded in the opening round, grabbed, mauled, brawled and roughoused his way to a narrow edge in round two, taking Walcott completely out of his game. Realizing the round was close, Walcott unleashed a furious assault in round 3, but Hamer took everything Jersey Joe threw at him and remained upright. Never has a loss been celebrated so heartily as Hamer's 2-1 loss to Walcott was, as his teammates emerged to carry him from the ring on their shoulders.
