In one of the most bizarre fights this observer has ever seen, Boatwright managed to secure a split decision win almost entirely by virtue of his superb defensive prowess. Lowes threw more than twice as many punches but landed only 15% of them, the lanky Boatwright parrying, slipping and ducking his shots time and again before firing in an occasional counter punch. At times the 18 year-old looked like he didn't want to be in the ring but when it was all over and he was announced the winner he was quick to big note himself with a flood of bragadociousness. This didn't exactly endear him to the crowd, who hurled a deal of criticism at him from late in round one through to the final bell. Boatwright has a distinct lack of aggression but if he can rectify this and also increase his workrate, he might have a future in the sport.

Awesome! Boatwright is totally pumped up to be 3-0 and to have scored a stoppage win! "I'm ready to win the Middle Weight Championship now! Bring on all those sucker pretenders who think they can beat me. The IBL Championship belt is a perfect fit around my waist!!! I can't wait to kick everybodys ass who dares to get in the ring with me! They will be creating a breeze while I'm blowing kisses to my adoring fans who cheer me on!!!"
