Jordan Brown, of Delmar, tested his metal for the first time, as the 11 yr. old, 110lb youngster stepped into the ring with his opponent from Baltimore. Brown controlled the bout very well with his jab and threw his right hand when the opportunity presented itself, winning on all three judges cards.
Kobe Moore, a student from Wi Middle School lost a close bout with his opposition who traveled from North Carolina to compete. Moore boxed well and turned the fight into a battle at one point but was out pointed in the end.
Ryan Watson, of Delmar fought a close bout but being inched out in the end. The crowd pleasing bout went the distance with Watson loosing the split decision.
Coach Chernoff was pleased with the performance of all the Main St boxer and added, “When bouts are this close you just need to take that next step so the judges have no question who controlled the bout. They all did good but we just have to work smarter and harder. It was nice that Jordan got a win out of the gate and Kobe took a step up to fight well while Ryan continues to get more relaxed and composed so good thing are coming.”
“Improvements come from more training but you have to keep getting that experience in actual competition. Things are different in front of a crowd and judges, so experience is the thing that will allow you to settle down to focus more and execute better. This was a good night for all the guys because it was a learning experience”.
