April 13, 1985: Nanaimo hosts another card.
I remember the card well, as I refereed the first bout
that had Mark Hartell of Kamloops earn a
unanimous ddecision over Rick Davidson.
In the second bout Paul Dodd of Courtenay earned
a split decision over Paul Frasca.
Other boxers in the bouts were:
Harry Kliener, Mark Harmeston, Scott Sinclair, Scott Cessford,
Ralph Torrie, Chris Rathy, Alan Brown, Marton Zupan,
Barrie Howardson, Ed Lee, Claude Cipellethe, Ken McCrilles,
Dave Fiddes, Dave Leahy, Denis Kent and Randy Dorman.
Referee and Judges:
Bert Lowes
Bert Lowes, Rick Brough, Brian Zelley, Dan Wright,
Cliff McNabb, and Ken Punt. Medical: Dr. Sandhu.
Also, Paddy Nelson from Gold River assisted in judging duties.
Announcer: Stan Smith
Timekeeper: Frank Ballane
Recordings: Julie Brown and Charlene Nelson
(clubs helping clubs, one show at a time)
*over the years, be it Nanaimo, Gold River,
Campbell River, Comox, Parksville, Ladysmith,
Port Alberni, Crofton and Victoria, there have been
hundreds of volunteers that often are never remembered, including the
many cornermen that often make a difference in the ring results.
