Hide AdReggie Baker (14) was beaten by experienced fighter Adam Ali from the Longsight Club in the 46kg final and despite an excellent display was pipped on points with a slow start proving costly.
After that slow first round, Baker delivered a cracking second round which was closely contested and in the final round the city lad was on fire and absolutely dominated the round with long power shots.
Unfortunately, this was still not enough against a very experienced opponent.
At 67kg Sonny McElligott (19) beat Liam Collier from the Lion Gym after three brilliant toe-toe-toe rounds in his semi-final before finding favourite Jack Lambert from the Laisterdyke ABC just too strong in his final.
