Michigan Fighters Win Title Tourney
Posted: July 16, 2009

Five boxers returned home from the deep south over the Independence Day weekend with national title belts.

The three teenagers and two pre-teens were among half a dozen youth boxers from Michigan that made the trek to northern Mississippi for the third annual Title Championships held July 1-3, sponsored by the equipment maker of the same name.

Butzel’s James Smith, 19, won by points over Canada’s Kevin Lavallee in the Open, 17-34, 125 pounds bout.

Tony Harrison-El, 18, of Henry Hank Boxing decisioned Edwin Castillo of Florida in the prelims and Donald Griffin of Arkansas in the finals.

Motown Boxing’s Caleb Chesternut, 12, took a points win over Alabama’s Israel Chavez and stopped Darren Biggers of Arkansas in round two of the finals at 75 pounds, 11-12 year olds.

Motown’s Jelani Embree defeated Nicholas Splawn of Texas by points at 9-10 year old, 95 pounds.

Motown’s Kyle Rutland won gold unopposed at 100 pounds, 13-14 year olds.

Henry Hank’s Patrick Boozer competed and lost earlier in the week but won a non-championship fight on Friday over Edwin Castillo, who teammate Harrison-El defeated in earlier action.

The three-day event was held this year in Holly Springs, Mississippi, just across the border from Tennessee by Southern Boys Boxing. Amateur boxers from some twenty states and Canada participated this year.
