Ben Hansberry--Lowell West End--vs Luke Yetten--Boston Boxing--201

LOWELL GOLDEN GLOVES preliminaries--01-20-17--Round 2

"Smart fight," Bud, one of the balcony stalwarts where I sit at the LMA, said to me after the penultimate bout of Lowell's second night of Golden Gloves boxing. Bud referred to Luke Yetten's successful effort against a much taller Ben Hansberry in their 201 n matchup. I'd seen Hansberry drop a decision in the 2015 Lowell preliminaries. Yettin I first saw in 2010. He made it to the Lowell finals in 2015, and he boxed again in 2016. It was fun to watch Yettin develop his rhythm in the first round and then follow his game plan of sticking to Hansberry's chest and never letting up the pressure. Here is the second round. Hansberry in red headgear; Yettin in black headgear.

The quarterfinals will be held next Thursday night (Jan. 26) at Lowell Memorial Auditorium with men's and women's novice and open class matches. See complete 2017 schedule of events below as well as last night's complete results.

"We had our second straight awesome show," New England Golden Gloves Executive Director Bobby Russo said. "There was another great crowd of enthusiastic fans who loved the non-stop action. We switch to Thursday night for this coming week's quarterfinal round and continue every Thursday night through February until we go Wednesday and Thursday (Mar. 1 & 2) for the semifinals and final (open class) of the New England Tournament of Champions."
