Down under, the boxing landscape had an earthquake on Saturday night, and it was all thanks to Dana “Deadly” Coolwell. Club Mooloolaba on the Sunshine Coast became the battleground where Angelo “Axe Boy” Beltran had a rendezvous with the canvas, all thanks to Coolwell’s relentless attack mode.
Coolwell dismantled Beltran bit by bit. Just when you thought Beltran might weather the storm, Coolwell delivered a stomach-churning body blow. It was a thud heard across the club as Beltran took an unscheduled nap, getting a ten-count lullaby from referee John Watson right at 2:48 in the seventh round.
Beltran, true to his fighting spirit, threw everything but the kitchen sink: fierce left hooks and mighty right hands. But Coolwell was prepared. Boxing behind an iron-clad jab and a ruthless assault on the body. he’s now looking at a shiny 12-2 record with 8 KOs. The world rankings better get ready for a new name!
“This strap, it’s special,” Coolwell remarked. “But my eyes are set on a bigger prize, the world champion title.”
Now, if you thought that was all the excitement for the night, you’d be wrong. The undercard was just as spicy! “King” Liam Pope and Jack “Trespassa” Tressider decided they weren’t there for a chess match. The ANBF Australasian Super Bantamweight title was on the line, and neither had plans for overtime. They went toe-to-toe from the word go! After a blitzkrieg in the fourth round, Trent Van Gaalen decided he’d seen enough and stepped in at 1:57, giving Pope the win and saving Tressider from a potential boxing remix of “Groundhog Day.”
