Jamal did his thing tonight. He got in his zone and competed against Jonathon Garcia from California in the Light Welterweight division (141 lbs). Jamal went out there with his jab constantly busy. He felt good and his energy was up. Jamal boxed all three rounds catching Jonathon with crisp, strong punches, which was enough for him to win the bout and advance to the Semifinals of the Golden Gloves.
Javontae did his thing as well tonight. He competed against Miroslav Lokes from Nevada in the Welterweight division (152 lbs). Miroslav was much shorter than Javontae and Adonis (Jamal and Javontae's coach) knew that Miroslav was going to try and walk Javontae down swinging hard wild punches in an effort to stop Javontae. However, Miroslav's strategy did not work. Javontae utilized his speed, jab and body shots to wear Miroslav down. By the third round Javontae was backing Miroslav up to the ropes and landing combinations after combinations. Javontae won the bout and advances to the Semifinals with Jamal.
Tomorrow both boxers will be competing three rounds for three minutes. Throughout the preliminaries and quarterfinals all boxers in the tournament competed for three rounds / two minutes. This will be an advantage for both boxers because they train in the gym in three minute intervals so they should do well in the Semifinals and advance to the finals, but we will take it one day at a time and focus on the Semifinals. Keep sending all the positive energy and prayers there way. Stay tuned for the Semifinals update.
