GOLDEN GLOVES ABC held a show on April 11 at Fusion in Liverpool. Six skills bouts supported 12 contests, their quality shown by how many were majority verdicts.
The talented youngster Mario Dasilva, Golden Gloves, had his work cut out in defeating Croxteth’s Jack Jarvis in an enthralling contest. Dasilva used his jab and then threw combinations with good effect. However Jarvis was not deterred and forced his way inside. A war of attrition ensued with both giving their all but Dasilva gaining the nod.
Golden Gloves’ Barakat Mansour lost out to Croxteth’s Tommy Williams, who forced a standing count on him in round two. Mansour kept to his boxing. He had to as Williams was on top form, bobbing and weaving to get inside as he produced hard punches to win a wonderful bout.
