Elgin Amateur Boxing Club

Good inter-club sparring with both Insch and HBA boxers getting the rounds in 🥊

A big thanks to Douglas Nevins who as well as preparing several of our boxers for the Scottish Opens with their S&C needs took a class on getting out of clinches and weight transferal. As every boxer knows sometimes it gets messy in there and hopefully this will give the boxers one more tool to use🥊💪🥇

Connor McPhee adds the 69kg youth Scottish Intermediate Champion to his Novices title in a fantastic display of boxing. After a very close first round Connor knew he had to dig in deep and took the second round. In the 3rd it was all to play for and despite a gutsy performance from his Kirkintilloch opponent Connor produced 2 standing count which rightly so earned him a unanimous decision 🥊🥇

Connor McPhee weighed in and ready to box. Will put on times of his Bout once the draw is done 🥇🥊

Two page spread in 1 paper about our home show, then an article about Fraser Edwards success in another 🥊

Well our Novice boxers started their training in August and finally last night Fraser Edwards became the Scottish 69kg Champion🥇 Against Andrew Gonet from Sterling BC this was a battle where both boxers enjoyed successful parts of the fight but in the end Frasers work rate and cleaner punches ensured he got his hand raised. Out of the 5 boxers we took to the championships we came back with 3 golds and one silver. So a big well done to all at the club that made this possible from the boxers themselves to the coaches, officials and everyone involved with the Elgin BC🥊

Fraser Edwards weighed in and ready to box in the Scottish 69kg Novice Championships.
