Some of the best amature boxers gathered for the tourney which saw plenty of action from all of the boxers. Billy Joe Berry won the 16-19 year old 119 lbs. special senior division. In his first bout Berry defeated Kyle C orpus of Y akim a, Washington. In his second bout Berry lost to Avon Gallagher of San M ateo, C alifornia. G allagher was withdrawn from competition by his coach which permitted Berry to advance to the championship boxing match. In the championship bout, Berry defeated John Jim from Yakima, Washington. John Sampson came home a runner- up in the 16-19 year old special senior division. In his first bout Sam pson defeated R obert R o d rig u e z of S to c k to n , California. This was a very tough bout but Sampson just out-boxed him. J n Rodriguez’ first bout, he TKO’d. Baker of Reno. Rodriguez was a big and tough kid. In the championship match Sampson lost to J.C. Comachs of San Francisco, California. Lawrence Caldera also came home a runner-up in the 125 lbs. 16-19 year old special senior division. Caldera lost his bout with Bruce Sam of Burns, Oregon. In the semi-finals, Guy Herkshan in the 125 lb. 14-15 year-old open division had two bouts. In the first match he defeated Mike Simmons of Hayward, California and then lost to M att Enslow of Tacoma, W ashington. This was a close and hard-fought match. It was said the decision could have gone either way. Jeff Sam, 106 lbs, in the quarter-finals of the 14-15 year- old division lost to Hector C olon, Jr. of H ayw ard, California. Sam built an early lead but Colon’s 39 fight experience proved too much for the young boxer. In the semi-finals Byron Berry, 156 lbs, in the special senior division was defeated by Lem Sneed of San Francisco, California. It was i. ported that this was a very questionable bout and that the spectators disagreed with the decision. Coach Gerald Smith said, “When one of my boxers lost, I have no questions when it is close bout and the decision could go either way. I may have a question, but that’s the way it goes. In this case I totally disagree with the decision.” Todd Danzuka, 165 lbs., in the semi-finals open senior division, lost a hard-fought bout to Hank Gonzalez of San Francisco, California. The local boxing team has been doing quite well for the young boxers and with a little more experience things could look a lot better.
