Super welterweight boxer Cory Tuttenham scored his second straight win in the amateur boxing ring.
The 18-year-old North Burnaby Boxing club pugilist scored a recent second-round technical knockout over Andrew Severs of the Fernie Old School Boxing Club at the Rumble in the Rockies on June 14.
A second North Burnaby club fighter Phil Ryan also won his light heavyweight bout by a TKO in the middle round over Larry Power.
Ali Nadeem was unsuccessful in his middleweight match against Ricky Miller of Fernie. Nadeem, 22, lost a three-round decision.
“One lost by decision and two wins by TKO. I think it’s very good,” said NBBC coach and former Romanian champion Mihai Afloarei.
Afloarei also handles current B.C. and Western Canadian heavyweight champion Adam Querido, who has announced his intention to turn pro.
“I told (Adam) if he wants to fight professionally, he has to take it seriously,” said Afloarei. “We want to work for two or three years together and see what happens.”
Afloarei hopes to get Querido a tune-up fight sometime in the summer.
