Smith
and Garza Brawl in Inkster The Kronk Boxing Team hosted a night of 9 amateur contests at the Inkster Recreation Complex on Friday the 13th. A good sized crowd that nearly filled the gym witnessed a fine program of evenly matched bouts highlighted by the tremendous battle between James Smith of Butzel and Ernie Garza of Saginaw. The two exchanged continuous punches for the entire three rounds and were rewarded with a standing ovation from the appreciative crowd at the bout's conclusion. Smith edged out Garza for the decision win and was justly given the "fighter of the night" trophy as well. An excellent fight that had one judge at ringside saying he needed a calculator in attempting to tabulate the volume of punches as they were being thrown! Kudos to matchmaker Fikes for this one as well as several other interesting contests.
Kronk's Anthony Barnes landed the punch of the night to opponent Dorian Hatcher's nose causing him to sink to the canvas. Referee Ansel Stewart stopped the contest after Hatcher rose from the floor. Barnes by RSC 3. Andriy Stankevych (Hamtramck) pulled out the decision over Kronk's Raymond Harris as these two let it all hang out in an exciting action packed third round. Ahmed Mahmood (Kronk) scored a standing eight count against Malek Schold (Sugar Tony's) in the second round and referee Ansel Stewart decided to stop the contest shortly after in Mahmood's favor.
