Yerkes (in red) making Steds proud
But unfortunately it was. Yes, in the second round of his bout in the Finals of Bengal Bouts, Patrick "Pay Day" Yerkes was pulled from the match by the referee. Still, there's no absolutely reason why Patrick should be downcast. As a fifth year senior, Patrick has had a terrific run- even returning after a defeat in the quarterfinals only to win in the semifinals! Pay Day? Call him Lazarus! Even though "Pay Day" wasn't able to cash out with a win, he had his day- and that's more than a lot of boxers can say! Congratulations to Yerkes... and we look forward to the return of Steds boxing next year!
On his appearance in the Finals, Yerkes said, "Being in the Finals is special. It's definitely something I won’t forget. Thanks for all the support, and stay tuned for my future boxing endeavors. First stop is some golden gloves tournaments."
Congratulations to Yerkes and all our boxers, and we look forward to the return of Steds boxing next year!
Steds was there, cheering their man on!
