Bengal Bouts Final Countdown


Chris "Not Brian" Salvi def. Brian Tower
Senior Chris Salvi got off to a fast start on his way to a victory over senior Brian Tower in the final 188-pound bout.
In the matchup, Tower began the fight on the early attack, but Salvi was able to evade many of his early punches. Salvi mixed in an array of body shots, hitting Tower particularly hard with one lower body shot that forced a temporary stoppage of the bout. Tower made a strong recovery effort toward the end of the round, landing a few body shots on Salvi before the end of the round.
The second round was fully dominated by Salvi, as he landed an early uppercut on Tower's face that left Tower sprawling on the ground. After a brief stoppage, Tower tried to go on the attack, but Salvi stopped him in his tracks with a quick upper body shot that knocked Tower down for the second time.
The referee then decided to end the fight in the second round, giving Salvi the victory.

I watched him box last year. I don't know that much about boxing but he's not bad.

He got booed terribly for putting his gloves down last year during one of his fights. Just something you don't do.

Details?

Are you implying he quit?

Was he arm weary?

Was he taunting the other fighter?

Was the other fighter glassy eyed?



I've seen pro boxers drop their gloves for each of those reasons. But Salvi was in an intramural bout not the 15 round World Championship Rumble in the Jungle for $100 million including movie rights and endorsements.

When he put his arms down, he was clearly gassed. As a Notre Dame fan, I'm just proud we have guys like that on our team. A warrior who won't quit and does what it takes to win.
