[11 November: Oakland, California, USA
Fred Boatwright (6-0-1(1)) TKO5 Michael Downey (4-3(2))
(middleweight division)

Los Angeles native Fred Boatwright travelled north to Oakland to take on local favourite Michael Downey and scored his second consecutive win over a Bay Area opponent. Boatwright showed a more aggressive disposition in his last outing and he didn't deviate from that course against the overmatched Downey. The 18 year-old peppered his foe with a persistent right lead before the fight was stopped two minutes into round five due to a nasty cut on the bridge of Downey's nose. It was only the second stoppage victory out of seven wins in Boatwright's career to date. As he is prone to do Boatwright went a little bit overboard with his celebrations afterwards, further souring the mood of the crowd who had come to see Downey "shut him up". Having been a reluctant athlete when his career first started Boatwright said during the post-fight interview that he's finally starting to warm to his task as a professional boxer. ]

This is fantastic how you are moving Boatwright's career along and developing his character. I wish he got to fight more often, but it does make it that much more enjoyable to read about when he does have a fight result. It will be interesting to see how far he is able to go. I'm glad that he is warming to his tak of being a professional fighter. Thanks for time you are putting into this!
