Fantastic 4s Challenge Match Final 4 Fight 2 Result
Sante Amonti (5-1 3) vs. Coley Wallace (6-1-2 1) - It turns out that Wallace has advanced by mistake . Jesse Ferguson won a challenge match and took on Wallace, who won, so Wallace was erroneously allowed to fight in the next round and beat Stan Ward. I’m not sure if Amonti should have fought Ward, Gus Dorazio or Wallace, but Coley’s the one who had this match, so it will stand, I guess, as he beat Ward and Dorazio .
They traded leather in an active first round, Sante connecting 30 times, Coley 36. Coley reached Sante 3 times with power shots, throwing two devastating rights and a combination, and he carried the round, 19-11, on that power display! Wallace opened the 2nd with a nice cross, Amonti came back with one of his own and a sweet hook, but Wallace rallied to take the round, 14-10, on a sweet last-second uppercut that backed Amonti up.
The 3rd was more of a defensive round, but Wallace snuck a solid blow in, which Sante answered with another big hook and, at round’s end, an uppercut of his own to win, 12-8. Wallace came on like gangbusters in the 4th, landing two jarring bombs, a hook and a right, and firing his laser-like jab in 21 times among the 51 punches he connected on, dominating, 24-6!
Amonti was exhausted in the 5th after the beating he took the round before, but Coley was arm-weary from throwing so many punches, so it was a quiet 6-2 round punctuated by leaning and misses. Sante rallied in the 6th, catching Coley with a sizzling hook to open the round. Coley landed a brutal hook to the body, but Sante peppered him with a variety of punches. Only a last second left by Wallace made it close, 15-11! I had Wallace up by 2 rounds at the midway point.
Sante continued his charge in the 7th, landing 34 times, one a sweet uppercut, and won another, 14-8. Somehow he kept it going in the 8th, though he was clearly tired, as he rocked Wallace with a hook and a sweet straight right en route to a 14-5 round! I had it all even at this point!
Wallace still had something left in the tank, landing a jarring jab early in the 9th, then two wicked combinations. Amonti retaliated with a smashing uppercut, but Coley rocked him back with a left and took the round convincingly, 19-8! Coley landed the best punch of the fight early in the 10th, a blazing combination, and Sante crumpled to the canvas! He made it up at the count of 8, and somehow avoided further damage, slipping or dodging Wallace’s attempts to end the contest. The round ended 11-2, and Amonti was in trouble .
Amonti was game in the 11th, but Wallace was in control, landing 35 times and piling up a 14-5 points advantage. Sante belted Wallace with a ferocious hook in the 10th, but Coley kept his feet and avoided all further bombs, losing the round, 10-2, but not too worried.
I had Wallace winning, 115-112. He outlanded Sante, 284-236, had many more power punches as well as the big knockdown. The judges scored the fight 115-112, Wallace, 114-114 and 115-113, for Coley Wallace, the winner by a majority decision! The fans applauded both fighters for their spirited contest!
So now Boone Kirkman will take on Coley Wallace in the Challenge Match finals!
