The joy of professional boxing is that it's always hard to predict the outcome of a match and the ultimate outcome of the victory.
In the early morning of April 16, 2022, Beijing time, in a commonwealth lightweight title battle held in York Hall in East London, England, Gavin Gwynne, who had challenged the title for the third time, defeated Luke Willis after 12 rounds of competition and won the vacant Commonwealth lightweight champion title.
While the first two challenges weren't all that wonderful, Gavin Gwen was really stronger than Luke Willis.
The first and second rounds of the match, perhaps the aftermath of the previous two defeats, Garvin Gwen played very carefully, which gave Luke Willis the opportunity to play to his fullest. So in the first two rounds of the game, what we saw was that Luke Willis had always had the advantage of the game.
In the third leg of the game, Gavin Gwen, who gradually adapted to the rhythm of the game, began to force Luke Willis and exchanged with Luke Willis. It has to be said that Gavin Gwen is really experienced in this kind of regional boxing battle, and soon Gavin Gwen controlled the rhythm of the game.
In the fourth leg of the match, Gavin Gwen began to engage in close combat with Luke Willis, and Luke Willis also began to actively fight back, but it was clear that he did not distribute his physical strength well.
In the fifth and sixth rounds of the match, the game officially entered the rhythm of Gavin Gwen, and Luke Willis was almost always being led by Gavin Gwen's nose, both offensively and defensively. Luke Willis also tried to fight back, and when he was physically strong, Luke Willis moved well and punched some heavy punches. But the longer the game lasted, and as Luke Willis was forced to the edge of the rope more and more often, there was simply no way for Gavin Gwen to stay away from him.
In the second half of the game, the whole game entered Gavin Gwen's solo performance, and Luke Willis's physical strength was gradually dragged down, and he could only be powerlessly beaten by Gavin Gwen.
The final twelve rounds were all over, with Michael Alexander giving a 117-113 rating, Mark Bates giving a 118-110 rating and Kieran McCann giving a 115-112 rating among the three referees on the spot.
Gavin Gwen defeated Luke Willis by unanimous 3-0 to win the match. After the victory, Gavin Gwen burst into tears of excitement. Gavin Gwen had great confidence in the first two free throws for the title, but was eventually replaced by Joe Cordina and James Tennyson, and now Gavin Gwen finally got his wish at the age of 31.
In an interview with reporters after the game, Gavin Gwen forced tears to tell reporters: "It's an unbelievable feeling, I finally realized a dream of my own. I've failed twice before, and I'm not going to let it happen a third time. I didn't play well in the first two rounds of today's game, and I even thought I was going to get knocked out in the first round. Luke Willis was a tough opponent to deal with, and he played a lot of good offense. But the game was fair and I persevered to win the game. ”
From today's game, we can see that Gavin Gwen's attack rhythm is very good, but his strength shortcomings are very obvious, in the eighth round, Gavin Gwen had a chance to knock down Luke Willis and end the game early, but Gavin Gwen lacked obvious rhythm changes and a heavy blow enough to end the game, so Luke Willis persevered.
