Charles Boney moved up in calibre to take on a more experienced and talented opponent in Duke Dean from Armidale’s Porter Power Boxing Club. 

The fight was back and forth on both fighter’s skills and a pleasure to watch from a crowd’s perspective. 

Dean’s fitness and experience edged Boney out in a close bout. 

Blair Blazely was up against a more experienced opponent. Blazely had a distinct height and reach advantage over his costal opponent Wade Coulston. 

Blazely fought a very tactical battle trying to stay on the outside while Coulston tried to close the distance and use his heavy hands. 

Blazely’s composure and natural ability started to shine through and he boxed brilliantly  to score a very close victory.
