The lad has done it again ,Karl Tierney boxed for England in the Great Britain Youth Championships ,and had a straight final contest against Welsh super heavy weight champ Rhys Williams .The venue was Portobello Town Hall Edinburgh ,which may i say was not all that ,and the prices they were charging to get in was extortionate . Karl wa son last in an 11 card program which saw England take nearly all the honours as our junior champions made some of the bouts look very easy .Karl weighed in at 92.5 kls and Rhys at 96kls ,he was also 2 to 3 inches taller than Karl also ,around 6ft 3ins ,the first round started of with a bang as Williams ran at Karl and tried to dominate with his barrage of punches but Karl was very controlled and just turned him and ended up in the centre of the ring himself and then started to do a number on the kid , Karl gave a really mature boxing exhibition ,it was near punch perfect ,bobbing ,weaving 2 and 3 phase attacks , just hitting the kid at will for the 3 rounds ,so it was no surprise when he was declared the winner with a score of 26 to 2.If Karl keeps on performing like this he is going to have a very exciting and busy boxing career and if he does go all the way ,meaning as far as he wants then it couldn't happen to a nicer lad .And any of you younger lads who aspire to be as good as Karl then to you i say , put the work in .,be as fit and strong as you can,get your head down in school ,stay out of trouble and be happy .
c u soon Sid
