Toowoomba is guaranteed two silver medals with the possibility of one gold with the two Smithy’s Gym fighters giving gutsy performances at the 2012 Australian amateur boxing titles.

Anne Marie Kelly lost a close points decision to Western Australian representative Haylee Verrier in the Gold medal match in the 60kg junior female division. In what was a close contest, Verrier proved to have too much experience taking the Gold medal 9 – 2, leaving Anne Marie to come home with the silver medal.

Steven Spark yesterday booked himself a spot in the final and guaranteed himself a medal after winning a very convincing quarter final against Victoria’s Sacha Peters. Spark dominated a tough fight even scoring a standing eight count over his opponent to advance through to the final with a 21 – 5 points win.

He now takes on South Australian representative Jack Haines, who has also breezed through his first two elimination fights, in the Gold medal match.

It is shaping up to be a close fight and Spark has assured us that he will be giving it his absolute best to bring back the Gold!
