Scotland Select v England Select

Connor Wallace represented Northwest ABC at the recent Scotland select v England select show. The nights boxing was hosted by Queensferry ABC in the Corn Exchange Edinburgh.

This was a black tie event with tickets costing £100 each. There was a Scottish piper on the door to welcome all the boxers,officials & guests into the event.

Connor was up against the quality opposition of Billy Beer from Repton ABC in London.

B.Beer is ranked No1 in the ABA of England official rankings in his age category!

Connor was giving away nearly 2kg in weight, and also a substantial height & reach advantage.This (as always) did not deter Connor who entered the ring with 100% commitment.

The bout turned out to be a battle from the 1st to last bell. Unfortunately Connor was beaten on points in this contest.

Northwest coaches are proud of Connors performance on the night against one of the best opponents around. Connor can hold his head high after this bout & has learnt some important lessons that he can carry forward into future contests.

Well done Connor!!
