LOWELL, Mäss. (Januari 20, 2018) – The 72nd annual Lowell Sun Charities Golden Gloves Championships continued last night with Central New England (Större Lowell) novice and open class action at historic Lowell Memorial Auditorium.

Novice quarterfinals and semifinals matches were held last night, as well as preliminary bouts in the open division. The female championship bout in the middleweight class was also held last night, in which Amesbury’s (MA) Jessica McFadden edged Brookline’s Samantha Surface, 3-2.

The Fight of the Night was an open-class welterweight showdown between Salem’s (MA) Charlie Espinal and Amesbury’s Kenny Lawson, which Espinal won by a score of 5-0.

“It was a good night,” New England Golden Gloves verkställande direktör Bobby Russo sa. “Good weather helped draw a big crowd, the largest of the season so far. There were a lot of good matches, some open division to go along with the novices. The Espinal-Larson match was the best of the night, a war from start to finish. It was the type fight you didn’t want either fighter to lose. Espinal had a little better boxing and experience that carried him to victory.”

The action switches to Torsdag kväll (Jan. 19) next week at Lowell Memorial Auditorium with more novice and open class matches. See the complete 2018 schema över händelser nedan samt gårdagens fullständiga resultat.
