Tez finishes Championship in National Semi Finals

Tez Everard finally left the National Schoolboy Championships today after a very tough bout against the favourite Sonny Ali who was the London Champion.

Tez put up a brave battle pushing the bout all the way to the final bell.

The club coaches are all very proud of Tez for his performance today and for the way in which he always conducts himself in bouts and at the gym.  100% effort all the time...!

Tez has had an amazing run recently, beating boxers in Ireland and Scotland before notching up Essex and Eastern Counties Titles,  with a 7 on the trot win record.

A message from a parent.

One of the comments came through on a posting below from "Blast from the past."
We have put it here for everyone to see....

"Stevie was very dedicated, everything he does in life he is the same, he always puts in 100%. but at times this can become unbearable at home!   I got  " i cant eat that"  or  "i cant do that"  or  " your meals are too big".  So in the end Stevie cooked ALL his meals, this from the age of 15...!   
So mums and dads don't despair, especially when they are on a diet, always on the scales, and very moody...!   The results at the end of the day are worth it. National junior novice champion!!!
I  am very proud and the boxing has stood him in good stead, with plenty of good support from all at Billericay Boxing Club.
I am very proud of him".

Team Billericay - Top of the Class..!

Billericay ABC had 4 Schoolboys in the National Pre-Quarter Finals today, that was more than any other Essex club.

Nathan Lucas was outstanding, probably, one of the most improved in the gym over the last few weeks.
The points were even at the end of the 2nd round, before just being pipped at the post by 1 single point at the final bell.  Anyone that knows me, will know I never moan about a decision, however, I could not see how he could have dropped any points in the last round ?   Everyone I spoke to, commented just how well Nathan done, a very good future prospect..!   A final note, I personally am very proud of Nathan, he trains hard, he always arrives early and has become a very good boxer overnight...!

Brad Cockett came up against a very experienced and super fit opponent, who seemed to have an extra gear as soon as Brad stepped it up.  Brad gave it everything and there was no complaints from his corner,  Brad actually appologised when he came back to the corner.. No appologises needed, Brad has the guts to get in their and give it a go, what a smashing kid..!  Brads parents and relatives all stayed to the very end to help clear up, a fantastic family, thanks to everyone.

Tez Everard is flying high at present, Tez trains hard, eats healthy and listens and progresses. He is the kind of boxer that every coach wants in his gym, quiet and just gets on with it...!  He spars well and will always do as he is asked to, never taking liberties and always considerate to others.
Tez started faster than usual, beleiving in himself, took it to his opponent in the 2nd round, looking to end the bout early. Tez kept the pressure on until the end of the 3rd, taking a very good win against a very experienced boxer.

Jake Gibson is doing well with the results lately, he has had some very close decisions going against him, but has really done well recently.  I saw the change in Jakes performance back in Norwich, when Jake gave it 110%.   Jake beat a top class boxer today, that if it was a non championship bout, on paper, Jake would not be matched against him. However, Jake dug deep and pushed on to win another very bout at a high level.

Thanks to everyone that helped today, it was an Essex / Eastern Counties show, but it was the Billericay firm that run the show so well, so thanks to you all.
Mike, Dean S, Dean G, Kev, Rach, Faye, Brad Cocketts Family, Jim, Henry, Cory and a big thank you to Elaine.
I am sorry if i have missed anyone, its been a long day ( again ).
