TWO boxers representing Blue Flames ABC in Taunton have both won respective Western Counties titles.
Evan Burns and Mackenzie Elford traveled up to Bath on Saturday for the National Development Finals.
First fighter up was Evan Burns and after a strong opening round from both boxers Evan and his corner had worked his opponent out.
For the next two rounds he kept the gap closed, putting constant pressure on his opponent and not giving him space to box and move.
Evan dominated the two final rounds for a good strong points win to become Western Counties Champion.
Next up, Mackenzie Elford put on a brilliant display of boxing through all three rounds in his fight.
His opponent was strong and kept coming forward but Mackenzie’s sharp style of in and out boxing always had the edge.
He kept his opponent guessing and outworking him through all rounds for a great unanimous win to become Western Counties Champion.
Both boxers can be seen in action this Friday, October 6 at Wellsprings Lesiure Centre on the Blue Flames home show. A fantastic night of boxing is in store.
