Ballards fight was closer than it should have been. He could have outboxed Moore for the entire fight but looked to be protecting his lead in the last round allowing Moore to close the gap.
Douglas looked good in his bout.
Antonio Russell looked strong. Gaskins and Magruder did what they should have and got rid of lesser competition. Keep in mind this is an invitational meaning anyone can go so there are some boxers that probably wouldn't have made it to the nationals in past years. You normally have to win to keep advancing through locals and regionals.
Pat Harris looked good too against a pretty strong boxer in Burgin.
Mike Reed avenged a lost at the Olympic Trials in Mobile this summer to Rincon.
Good luck to all of our boxers, they have all represented well.
Also, Danny Kelly won.
