African Ring, in association with Golden Gloves, Emperors Palace, Supersport and Chesa Nyama, presented the Young Guns Box and Dine tournament, on Thursday, at Emperors Palace.<\/p>\n
Fight fans witnessed five impressive bouts.<\/p>
<\/div>\n
Primrose\u2019s Grant Fourie took to the ring against Warren Joubert, who was defending his South African junior welterweight championship title.<\/p>\n
The 12-round bout was filled with action and adrenaline.<\/p>
<\/div>\n
It was evident in the first round that both fighters are skilled, with firm and well calculated punches.<\/p>\n
Joubert seemed to be strong in the second round, but it was still early stages as Fourie kept going strongly.<\/p>\n
By the third round Fourie had picked up and got in a few great shots.<\/p>\n
From the fourth round Joubert was more energetic and charging at the beginning of every round, but that was short-lived, as Fourie had his way of taming his opponent\u2019s hype.<\/p>\n
He brought Joubert down to one knee, which really excited the crowd.<\/p>\n
Joubert seemed to be slowing down after the fall, while Fourie was more amped up.<\/p>\n
Fourie had seemingly studied his opponent, as he knew when to launch firm accurate jabs and when to duck, while Joubert seemed to struggle to study Fourie\u2019s way of fighting.<\/p>\n
Round 11 was an intense period, with boxing fans witnessing accurate and impressive throws from both fighters.<\/p>\n
The last round was also intense, as both fighters tried to score last-minute points before the end of the bout.<\/p>\n
It was a brilliant fight to watch.<\/p>\n
It went the full distance and the judges scored the fighters 117-111; 116-110 and 114-112, all in favour of the new South African junior welterweight champion, Fourie.<\/p>\n
