Final:

Professor William Miller 0-1-0 (0) vs Joe Askew 0-1-0 (0) - Miller seemed to be getting the better of it, but a horrific gash on the bridge of his nose in the 3rd round continued to widen until the referee halted the bout in the 6th round on the suggestion of the ring doctor for the Askew TKO upset win.

Tom Lees 2-1-0 (2) vs Dick Atkinson 1-1-0 (0) - After a solid 1st round Lees scored an early knockdown in the 2nd then poured it on for the TKO as Atkinson clearly was unable to fend for himself at the time of the stop.

Most felt the hook was a bit quick, but Buzza clearly was out classed in this one.

James Ryan 1-1-0 (1) vs Tony Coyne 0-1-0 (0) - Ryan was by far the better pugilist in this one, building up a huge lead then a frustrated Coyne landed his second low blow and third foul of the fight in the 11th and was disqualified.

Craig Petersen 1-1-0 (0) vs Rudy Darno 1-1-0 (1) - A good tactical bout saw these two go back and forth trading rounds early then Peterson gradually built up a small lead. Needing a miracle in the 15th round, Darno came out trying to end it, and while he didn't finish Petersen, he did score the lone knockdown of the fight. I had it 142-142 even on the strength of a 10-8 15th round for Darno while the judges had it 144-141 Darno, 142-142 even and 143-142 for Petersen, for the draw.

Round 1 - Part 2:

Justin Fortune 1-1-0 (1) vs Peter Graham 1-1-0 (1) - A close bout through the 5th round as they went after one another with a vengeance. The 6th round was all Fortune however as he hurt Graham with a series of shots that had him out on his feet when the referee halted it.

Mick Dooley 2-1-0 (2) vs James Grima 1-1-0 (0) - After an intense 1st round that saw Grima edge the round Dooley kept up the intensity, hurting Grima repeatedly before the referee halted the bout for the TKO in the 2nd round.

Reno Zurik 0-1-0 (0) vs Rick Horsburgh 0-1-0 (0) - A good close bout that was nip and tuck throughout came to an abrupt halt when Zurik landed a beautiful combo to the chin that put Horsburgh down for the count at the beginning of round 9.

Owen Sullivan 0-1-0 (0) vs Pat Kennedy 1-1-0 (1) - A close but uneventful fight ended in a hurry in the 6th round when Sullivan landed a looping overhand right that hurt Kennedy badly. Sullivan then landed hooks and uppercuts with abandon until the referee halted the bout for the TKO!

Mark Saris 0-1-0 (0) vs Lealofi Fasaval Lobalala 0-1-0 (0) - Saris used every bit of the ring and crisp punching to wear down Lobalala then hurt him badly in the 5th round followed by shots from all angles as he tried to finish his opponent. The referee stepped in a bit early, but Lobalala was clearly hurt at the time of the stop.

Ned Ryan 0-1-0 (0) vs Australia Mandingo 0-1-0 (0) - I had Mandingo winning this one 142-141 as they boxed throughout.

That led to Lang being knocked down in the 6th followed by a brutal beating until the ref stopped it for the TKO.

Steve O'Donnell 1-1-0 (0) vs George Ruenalf 1-1-0 (0) - O'Donnell's movement gave Ruenalf fits early, but he closed the gap with a pair of 10th round knockdowns only to have O'Donnell finish strong in the final two rounds to pull off the 143-141 unanimous decision on all 3 cards.

Joe Goddard 1-1-0 (1) vs Ned Ryan 1-1-0 (0) - While Ryan never left his feet, Goddard put on a clinic, then pummeled Ryan so badly that his corner tossed in the towel to save Ryan serious harm in the 11th round.

Round 2 - Part 2:

After trading rounds in the 8th and 9th, Bell scored a pair of knockdowns in the 10th, the final one for the count as the crowd cheered the fortitude of both fighters!

Bill Squires 3-1-0 (2) vs Justin Fortune 2-1-0 (2) - A good close action bout that saw Squires loose a point in the 9th round but win it anyhow on the strength of his first knockdown. Fortune went down again in the 11th, but came back strong with a knockdown of his own in the 12th.

Tom Lees 3-1-0 (3) vs Ted Gray 3-1-0 (1) - With Lees the clear aggressor & Gray boxing smartly this one was nip and tuck throughout despite a 6th round cut over the right eye of Lees. They went back and forth with Gray slightly ahead when the cut reopened in the 12th for the upset TKO by Gray.

Solomon Haumono 2-1-0 (2) vs Craig Petersen 2-1-1 (0) - Haumono was in control, taking the early lead but Petersen stayed close throughout. Haumono dropped Petersen in the 9th round only to have Petersen earn his first stop with the KO shot to the rib cage of Haumono in the 10th!

Peter Felix 1-1-0 (1) vs James Ryan 2-1-0 (1) - Felix came out on fire in the 1st round, scoring seemingly at will in dominating fashion but Ryan kept coming, scoring the first knockdown of the night late in the round.

Felix gradually pulled even then slightly ahead when he landed a tremendous hook in the 9th round for the KO!

Jim Scanlon 2-1-0 (2) vs Jimmy Ryan 3-1-0 (3) - The last time these two met Ryan scored a 4th round KO. This time out they traded huge rounds in a very close slugfest.

Quarter-Finals:

Dave Russell 1-1-0 (1) vs Adam Watt 1-0-0 (1) - Watt dominated the heavy favorite Russell, scoring a 3rd round knockdown then another in the 5th round before the ref had seen enough and called the fight. This takes the top seed out of the equation.

Jamie Withers 0-1-0 (0) vs Costa Chondros 2-1-0 (1) - Another top seed drops by the wayside as Chondros scored the 9th round KO after having dominated much of the fight.

Daniel Ammann 0-1-0 (0) vs Daniel Rowsell 5-1-0 (3) - Rowsell won the last World Tournament Berth and Ammann was a 1st round casualty last time out, though neither have met. This one went the distance with the neither man down. The fight literally came down to the final round with the judges scoring it 144-143, 144-143 and 143-144 for the winner by split decision Ammann.

Steve Aczel 1-2-0 (0) vs Dominic Vea 1-0-0 (1) - Aczel pummeled Vea for the bulk of the bout, opening a gash on the left eyebrow directly above the eye in the 5th round that reopened in the 7th to end Vea's tourney dreams.
