Australia - Heavyweights - Semi-Finals
Semi-Finals:
Peter Jackson 12-1-0 (11) vs Frank Slavin 5-1-0 (4) - Slavin showed no fear, dominating the 1st round only to have Jackson land a cross down the pipe that set him up for a hook that put him down for the count in the 2nd round!
Kali Meehan 7-1-0 (7) vs Bill Lang 5-1-0 (5) - With both men showing good power throughout the tourney, it was a surprise that it went the distance. Meehan went down in the 4th, and returned the favor in the 8th round. In the 14th Lang lost a point for an intentional head butt, his 4th foul of a dirty fight (Meehan had 3 fouls) and the fight was close after 15. The judges had it 143-141, 143-141 and 142-141 for the winner by unanimous decision, Meehan who faces Jackson in the finals for the second straight tourney.
