tough match to a west Pordand
boxer at the 95-pound plus
weight class. Jasper made a
good showing even though his
opponent was two years older
at 14 and a bit heavier with age
being the concern to me.
The weight difference is
what concerned me, so I halted
the match after the second
round as I advised my athlete
before we left the gym; since
the matching was a problem.
Jasper said even though I made
the bout short, he still gained
some experience.
It's called "growing room,"
and I think everyone has that
space.

But when the bell rang out the
last round to stop, I knew it
would be a close match to
judge. The nod went to west
Portland, although much of
the crowd didn't think it
should have gone that way.
To me, well I've seen my
boxer display some things he
didn't express in his last match.
He'll get better each time he
gets in there. I call it "crossing
