THE Amateur Boxing Alliance is a new, rival body to England Boxing and has been holding events with clubs that used to be part of the national federation, notably Finchley ABC and Lambeth’s Fitzroy Lodge. Finchley had some of their boxers in team matches that the Alliance staged in London earlier this year.
A London vs Kent match featured a close contest, with their Kevin Moldovan producing a big last round to narrowly outpoint Ben Bishop from Halling ABC. Kent would beat the London Select team five bouts to three.
A match pitched an English team vs a Spanish side. Finchley’s Frankie Storey defeated Edu Torres on a unanimous decision in a competitive bout. Finchley’s Ross Driscoll lost a close majority decision to Eusse Vasquez, with both mixing their shots to body and head in a display of non-stop action.
