Bengal Bouts...

Williams (left) in the ring

... semi-finals took place in the Dahnke Ballroom, and the Stedsmen were there. The Gentlemen were present to cheer on their boxer, Steds senior, Josh "More of a lover than fighter" Williams. Defending champion, Williams got into the ring and faces off with another boxer from Knott Hall, and as Williams did so, there was a bit controversy, as Williams had been bumped into a higher weight bracket. William's competition was not only heavier but also a bit taller, giving the just enough edge to take down our Gentleman Boxer. It was crushing for the fans and even more so for Williams. Still, all of Steds is proud of Williams, for he has done more and went further than any of them! On the fight and William's journey for a second championship, Michael "Hendy" Hendrickson, Steds senior and fellow Bengal Bouts boxer, shared, "It was a close fight, Josh finished strong in the third round, but it wasn’t quite enough to sway the fight in his favor. Josh is truly a warrior, and although his epic Bengal Bouts career has come to an end, he is truly an inspiration to all Stedsmen. I couldn’t be prouder of him for his effort Monday night, and all the work he has put in over the past four years."
