2019 National Elite Senior Championships – DAY 2 RESULTS

19 fights were completed tonight (Saturday) in one of the best National Elite Senior Championships quarter-finals in recent memory.

An astonishingly high-quality field were in Last Eight action in Dublin, with big match-ups and big results.

Reigning champions Wayne Kelly and Michael Nevin were beaten at light welter and middleweight by James McGivern and Gabriel Dossen (pictured) respectively.

Fights worthy of finals, such was the draw and the level of talent on show, they took place on the opening weekend.

There was more joy from some of the other 2018 champions: George Bates, now at light welter, beat Michael Avetisian, Kieran Molloy beat Aaron Daly at welter, and super heavy king Dean Gardiner ended Tommy Sheahan’s Cinderella Story.

There were plenty of past champs on show too, with 2017 winners Martin Keenan and Emmet5 Brown beating Stephen McMonagle and Tony McGlynn respectively but Aidan Walsh pitched in a huge result by beating Dean Walsh.

In a battle of the Celtic Eagles team-mates, Gytis Lisinskas edged Toto Ó Griofa to maintain his unbeaten record while Thomas Carthy beat Dean Scullion in the other super heavy quarter.

In the fascinating heavyweight division, Tony Browne, Kenny Okungbowa, and Karol Dlugosz all won while there were also victories tonight for Kenneth Doyle, Keith Flavin, Luke Maguire, Paddy Donovan, Brett McGinty, Fearghus Quinn, and David Bicevis.

Action resumes next Friday night in the quarter-finals.
