Sturbridge in Massachusetts.

The only local to triumph against the Massachusetts and Denver Police was police sergeant Sean Field-Lament.

He repelled a fierce challenge from Mike Baker in a match-up that saw both boxers show plenty of spirit from the opening bell, each exchanging heavy blows.

After a fairly even first round, Field-Lament got the upperhand midway through the second, forcing Baker to take a standing eight count near the end.

The Bermuda officer then pressed home his advantage in the last round and Baker was spared further punishment when the referee stopped the bout with 30 seconds remaining.

The main event, a rematch between Bermuda's Regean Raynor and Keith Pantazelos after they fought last October, saw the American once again prevail.

Pantazelos outclassed the Bermuda fighter in the first bout, but this time Raynor showed more polish and was able to counter his opponent's longer reach and work inside.

Although Pantazelos was unable to dominate as before, he managed to get by with a split decision much to the annoyance of most of the crowd. The pair have agreed to another rematch when Massachusetts visit Bermuda later this year.

In other bouts Bermuda's Mick Atterbury lost to George Demos on points, Jerome Caines lost a unanimous decision to Michael Miskell and the lone local female fighter, Shinee Simons, lost a split decision to Christine Bruno.

Making her debut in the ring, 15-year-old Simons showed no sign of nerves against Bruno, a police officer from Aurora, Colorado.

Simons more than held her own in the opening exchanges and as the fight progressed she was able to impress with some stylish jabs.

Also travelling with the fighters were coaches Kevin Simmons, John Philpott and Quinton Mallory, referee Gerry Lyons and judge superintendent Vic Richmond.

Plans are being made for a similar card here in November. Any local fighters interested in competing are asked to contact Iain Jamieson at Hamilton Police Station.
