Boxers shine at show
Harwich ABC had a great night at the Colchestere ABC annual show at the Sir Charles Lucas School.
Experienced junior Joey Avenell (15) sought revenge against Barking's George Penny, having lost to him back in December.
Avenell had an industrious first round, but struggled to find the target.
This would change in the second, as Avenell settled and caught Penny with useful counter punches.
The taller Penny tried to close the gap in the last.
However, Avenell would not be denied as he continued to beaver away.
A close majority points win saw Avenell home.
Middleweight junior George Potter looked to keep his unbeaten record intact in his second ever bout, this time against Waltham Forest's George Hardy.
In the second round, Potter threw stinging shots from distance, which proved too much, as the referee wisely stopped the contest in the Harwich boxer's favour.
It was a case of going over old ground for two other Harwich ABC unbeaten junior boxers.
James Osbourne struggled at times, with a weight disadvantage causing him problems, however, he prevailed and scored a repeat points win in this his fifth bout overall, over the game Liam Giles of Castle ABC.
Likewise, junior Billy Cannon, in his third bout, also scored a repeat win of his debut contest, against Centurions ABC's B Kenway with a unanimous points decision.
The task of opening the show, came to Danny Gunn who faced R Dunne from Sandy ABC.
Gunn received a unanimous points win, to score his third win of the season.
Bradley Bocking struggled to find his range, as he dropped a split points decision to fellow junior, A Ward of Islington.
