2008 Arnie Boehm Boxing Tournament (Oct. 3-5, 2008 – St. Catherines)

This past weekend Cole Boetteger, Alham Talmal and Nick Bullard made their competitive debuts in this year’s Arnie Boehm Novice Boxing Championships in St. Catherines. It was an excellent performance by all three of these boxers.

Friday night Cole lost to Arthur Biyarslanov of teh Cabbagetown Youth Boxing Club, in the 50 kg Cadet B finals, when the referee stopped the fight in the first round after Cole received a second standing 8 count. Despite the loss, Cole put up a great effort facing his opponent who had had 3 previous bouts, and still earned himself the Silver medal.

Later that night Nick faced Victor Plaza of the Ajax Boxing club in the 50 kg Cadet C semi-finals. This was certainly on of the best fights of the night with Nick coming back from a 9 point deficit at the end of the first round; to tie the match at 23-23 against his opponent by the end of the third round. Despite the fantastic comeback the officials gave the win to Nick’s opponent and awarded him the Bronze medal.

On Saturday, Elham faced off against Victor Plaza in the 50 kg Cadet C finals. Another hard fought bout going the full three rounds, with Elham taking home the Silver medal in a sex point loss to his opponent.

We received some great comments from other coaches about our athletes, and we have been asked if they would be interested in competing on Nov. 19 in Barrie, at the Uptown Boxing Club show. Congratulations guys!
