<\/p>\n\u201cIt was amazing, I\u2019m so happy that I\u2019m progressing in the sport well,\u201d said Koehen McLeod, another winner in B.C. Bronze Gloves.<\/p>\n
\t<\/p>\n
\u201cI was just imagining that this is the undisputed heavyweight championship of the world. I remember telling myself that, I was like, \u2018yeah, let\u2019s go!\u201d said Thunder Innis, a B.C. Silver Gloves winner.<\/p>\n
For McLeod, his win was extra sweet, as it was a chance to avenge a defeat he suffered one year ago. In his third and final match of the tournament, he faced off against Raunak Najiar of Richmond\u2019s Raincity Boxing again, but McLeod proved how much he\u2019s improved by defeating Najiar in the first round by TKO.<\/p>\n
\u201cI feel like I was just way better in the ring this time around. When I was in last year, I just wasn\u2019t throwing punches at all, and this time I was throwing so much more,\u201d McLeod said.<\/p>\n
His fellow wardog, Woodrow, also earned his first B.C. Bronze Gloves win, although for Woodrow it was also his first tournament ever.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was crazy, like when I hit him with the body shot and he crumbled. It was just like, \u2018holy crap, I actually did it.\u2019 It was awesome,\u201d Woodrow said.<\/p>\n
As for Innis, he was competing in Silver Gloves, as he has more experience. He earned a judge\u2019s decision victory in the finals, which he called his toughest fight so far \u201cby far,\u201d as he said his opponent was a very skilled technician.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis was one of my fights where I had to really use my IQ. And he was a really nice boxer, just like me, and in the first round, I was just getting familiar with my opponents, seeing how he\u2019s moving and what he\u2019s doing,\u201d Innis said.<\/p>\n
Innis has built his early career on incredible power, so matching up against someone who wasn\u2019t easily overwhelmed by power proved a challenge, but by earning a victory Innis proved he isn\u2019t all power, he\u2019s a fighter who can beat you multiple ways.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always known I was special, and I knew I could fight any style. I know my abilities, I know I can adapt to any style, and I\u2019m just as confident going in as I left,\u201d Innis said.<\/p>\n
The Wardogs are a team bursting with confidence and swagger, and the team all agrees their confidence comes from a phenomenal coaching duo of Kenny Lally and Jag Seehra, on top of all the effort the fighters put in their home gym.<\/p>\n
\u201cHard work pays off, and that\u2019s what we do here,\u201d Woodrow said.<\/p>\n
The Wardogs are busy preparing for a home card in Prince George<\/a>, giving you a chance to cheer on your local fighters on October 25. <\/p>\n
