Dan Csaszar and Jake Weitzel get the crowds to their feet.

Blue Corner Boxing's Daniel Csaszar staged another impressive performance
defeating his opponent from the Queensborough Boxing Club this past weekend
in the Bronze Gloves Invitational Championship.

Csaszar was clearly the fight of the night as the 250 in attendance came to life
with raucous shouts and cheers, as he defeated his opponent 28-14 in a heated series of exchanges.

Csaszar admitted that although happy with the result, “ I gave up too many points to him”.
He said, ” I like to hang & bang but that always gives up to many points to my opponent.”

On the previous weekend, Jake Weitzel, another fighter from the Blue Corner Boxing Club
defeated his Richmond opponent at the Langley Casino Show in an equally entertaining fight
that saw Weitzel handily defeat a determined but less agile opponent.

Just as the Csaszar fight, the room came to life as the two clashed in a spirited match.
When it was all over , Weitzel had scored most often by landing big blows to the body and the head
with a devastating double left hook. As the fight moved through the final round, the referee watched his opponent closely,
ready to stop the match.

The fight ended in a unanimous decision for Weitzel.

Dan Csaszar gives a boxing lesson in Mission.

Dan adds another successful win to his ever growing list of accomplishments.
On Saturday, the Mission City Boxing Club held “Saturday Night Fights IV” at the Leq'u:amel First Nations Community Centre
where Daniel and his opponent Shaun Kroeker were listed as the Co-Main Event of the night.
What was supposed to be an exhibition turned out to be an actual bout.

17-year-old Daniel Csaszar weighed in on Saturday at 166 pounds, while his 30-year-old opponent,
Shaun Kroeker, weighed in at 179, 13 pounds heavier than Daniel. The size difference was noticeable when the
two fighters stood together, but Csaszar proved that skill and conditioning wins over braun.

Csaszar scored a convincing victory over Kroeker, and the audience was entertained as Csaszar
danced around his opponent, while landing punches almost at will. He controlled the pace of the fight
with a “stick and move” style. Kroeker tried to nail Csaszar on the ropes on more than one occasion,
but Csaszar was too fast, and Kroeker found himself face to face with the scoring judges instead.

Coach Ingo Shubert was pleased with the outcome of the fight, saying:
“Daniel works hard at his training and it shows when it comes to Daniel's performance in the ring.
This was Dan's first light heavy weight fight and again he fought a senior.” Schubert went on to say
“He still has more to learn and it will come with time, passion and experience”.

Dan Csaszar qualifies for the Canadian National Championships to be held February 2010 in Halifax, N.S.

It has been difficult for Coach Schubert to find a BC fighter willing to step in to the ring with 17 year old Dan Csaszar,
and the BC Championships, just held in Kelowna, was not exception.
With no other boxers showing up to fight in Dan's 75Kg weight class, he became Blue Corner Boxing's first
Provincial Champion and will represent BC at the Nationals.

No-shows for Dan & Dave in Seattle, Washington.

The trip across the border to Seattle, for a two day tournament, was a disappointing no-show for Dan Csaszar
& Dave Dimen; however, it turned out to be a great introduction to the sport of boxing.

After the no-shows, schedules were rearranged, and a new fight for Dave was set up
for that day and another bout the following day.

Both boxers were more experienced than Dave and this was his first boxing match ever.

Dave's first round did not go as planned. Nerves and stress took their toll on Dave as his more experienced opponent
took control from the bell. Dave trained hard for what was to be his first bout; however, training and stepping in
the ring are two different worlds. Dave was learning this quickly and took a lot of hits in the first round.

Coach Schubert let him know that if was unable to start his fight in the next round that he would throw in the towel.

One minute in to the second round and Coach Schubert threw in the towel. Dave was taking too many punches
to the head and it was just a matter of time until the referee would have stopped the fight, as he was watching closely already.

Coach Schubert always says that what is practiced in the gym is what needs to be taken to the ring.
Dave learned this the hard way in his first bout. It's all part of the art of boxing – a lot of training and
a sometimes difficult introduction to the ring that every fighter needs to pass through.

Coach Schubert and Dave are training for his next bout.
