Description

Oh dear! Mercedes Carter had a jolly good time in the first round of her USA Golden Gloves final against Caitlin Brown, but the ground has shifted!


Caitlin got her punches in. Did Mercedes hang in there? What did the ref make of it all?


The story and its 6 scenes are available now!

She's lucky that this is amateur boxing. In professional fights Caitlin may have delivered the third punch, and then it would have been hard for Mercedes. She may have gone down for good, or the ref had stopped the fight, I think.

Had Caitlin punched a little harder, perhaps the ref would have stopped the fight!

Yes, I thought the same. She would have if the third punch had landed.

Well, that was not a pretty thing from Mercedes' perspective.  Caitlin certainly can punch when she gets you where she wants you.  But Mercedes gathered herself nicely.  She's got some work to do, but that could have turned out whole lot worse.

That was tough. Caitlin ain't no accident. Although... she can turn someone into an accident, to put it this way.


Mercedes will have to play catch-up but at least, she's not out.

Standing eight count seemed to have really helped Mercedes get her focus back.  She is well trained and seems to be wearing Caitlin out.  
This is another fight that needs to be addressed when both ladies turn pro.

Depending on how this turns out, a pro rematch, with different rules, may be a thing. Perhaps they have what it takes to be rivals. Who knows?

Caitlin got her moment and she took advantage, but Mercedes got her time to breathe and recover and she made the most of it.  Still, this is going to put Mercedes down on the scorecards and will make her have to attack to win the remaining rounds

That's the difference a strict referee makes in amateur boxing. If she's watching this fight, Sophie must wish she had received the same treatment!


Mercedes has her work cut out for her, but if her late reaction shows anything, it's that skills are there...

Damn that round did not go well for Mercedes at all good thing there was standing 8 count.

On the bright side her and her coach are smart wasting the rest of the round and smart way to use your shoulder

Caitlin's been around enough to find ways to score even against a top fighter like Mercedes.


What about Mercedes' use of the ropes?

Oh yeah it was definitely helpful
