Junior Olympics Results
The USA Youth High Performance Team earned seven gold medals at the 53rd annual USA Boxing National Junior Olympics and Summer Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Lauryn Elmore (female, 65 kg), Joseph Awinongya (male, 80 kg), Kayla Moore (80+ kg), and Nnajai Wright (90+ kilograms) each made their tournament debuts on Saturday and earned gold medals in the process. All four boxers dominated their lone bout of the event, as Elmore, Moore, and Wright secured unanimous decision victories, while Awinongya earned an RSC in the second round.
“With this fight, I was happy to get some ring rust [off] and get the work I needed before Brandenburg,” Awinongya stated following his performance. “When it comes to the Brandenburg Cup, I know I will have quickness, those quick-twitch muscles. I saw that all of them performed today. I am glad I will be able to put that in my next fight in Brandenburg.”
Also earning gold this afternoon was Salim Ellis-Bey (male, 60 kg), who secured a 3-2 split decision victory over Yahir Diaz Martinez. Bey represents the USA Youth High Performance Team as its captain and displayed dominance and leadership throughout the week in Las Vegas.
Rounding out Team USA’s gold medals are two Hawaii natives, Lorenzo Patricio (male, 50 kg) and Alexis Tangaro (female, 54 kg), who both earned a dominant 5-0 unanimous decision win.
Earning two silver medals for the week were Landon Patricio (male 55 kg) and Jose Vasquez (male 70 kg). Both boxers had a successful tournament, as Vasquez earned three victories, while Patricio earned four of his own.
Team USA was represented by 10 members of its Youth High Performance Team, earning seven gold and two silver medals.
Massachusetts results
The two newest members of Granite Chin Promotions’ (GCP) stable, undefeated Everett (MA) junior welterweight prospect “Showtime” Shea Willcox (3-0, 3 KOs) and Kingston (MA) middleweight Rich Allen (2-0, 2 KOs), turned in knockout performances for a sold out crowd last Friday night on “Fight Night at the Vet Club IV”, presented by Granite Chin Promotions (GCP), at the Bridgewater Veterans Club in Bridgewater, Massachusetts.
“What we have at the Bridgewater Vets Club is special,” GDP promoter Chris Traietti said after the event. “We’ve made the Bridgewater Vets Club our home. Shea and Rich both stepped up and are progressing nicely. We’ll be back on August 16 at Oceanside Events Center (the old Wonderland Ballroom) in Revere (MA).”
Willcox, 23, has successfully parlayed his rich amateur pedigree as a 2024 New England Golden Gloves champion, in which he was also named the “Most Outstanding Boxer, in addition to capturing top honors at the 2018 Rocky Marciano Tournament Champion, into the pro ranks. His fan base continues to travel well to support him, which has rapidly made him arguably the most popular boxer in New England, based on ticket sales.
At the site of his pro debut a year ago last September at the Bridgewater Vets Club, Willcox met a very tough opponent in the main event, Kadhim Alkhazaali. He did get Shea’s attention with a solid shot to the face in the opening round. He came out for the second round with a vengeance. A wicked body shot sent an obviously hurt Alkhazaali to the canvas late in round two, and he was unable to continue fighting.
“The kid was tough, fighting as he came forward,” Willcox remarked. “We knew he was a step up as an opponent, but we were ready. He woke me up with that punch in the opening round. We always put in the work and trained to be sharp and ready for anything in the fight.”
Willcox will be on Granite Chin’s Aug. 10th show in Revere, which borders Shea’s hometown of Everett.
