Sam Bowen of Pisces and welterweight Decio Ferreira of Leonis boxed their way through to the next stages, the Western Counties finals, while the latter’s club-mate, Boyd Munroe, a quarter-finalist last winter, also advanced after getting a bye.
Maximum Ferreira beat Adam Cannon of Truro on points, but could not then face his next opponent, Torbay’s Garry McCuait, because the latter had already boxed the maximum two contests on the night.
Their light-welterweight three-counties bout is now scheduled for tomorrow night in the UK, but efforts are being made to try to get the contest on this Saturday’s Leonis ABC v Kent Select bill at the Merton Hotel in Jersey.
The evening went on past midnight as a huge number of entries took to the ring.
Pisces’ Joe Muscat won his opening Class A quarter-final against Sean Dann of Devenport on points, but lost out to Oakmead’s Sam Hammerton in the semi-final.
Club-mate Bowen, a Class A under 64k entrant, had points victories over Tony Killis and then Shaun Mollin to move through to the Western Counties stages.
Leonis bantamweight Ricky Pryor lost by just a point to Ryan Browning in his contest, and he will now appear on the Merton bill this weekend.
The boxers were accompanied by Pisces’ Brian Rousseau and Leonis ABC’s Dave Thompson and Miguel Ferreira.
Leonis ABC were supported by Minerva.
