Adam McDermid and Armando Gonzalez competed in USA Boxing fights Friday Night at the Clyde Iron Restaurant & Bar in Duluth, MN.  Adam won a judges decision and showed great elusive movement in his bout, Armando lost a razor thin decision, but put on a great performance after suffering a nasty accidental head butt in the opening round.

Brandon Buchholz defeated Craig Early Friday night by split decision (29-28, 28-29, 29-28) in a back-and-forth battle at the Hyatt Hotel in Minneapolis.  This was the third meeting of these two fighters as Buchholz won their first bout by submission (May 2011) and Early won the rematch by submission (Nov 2011).

Congratulations Brandon!
