"He's got real potential," Killam said. "If he wants to pursue it, he can." The 19 -year-old boxer has two fights under his belt now, and while Bridges did not win the decisions in either, he is already showing his power and his talent in the ring. "His first fight was against a 35 -year-old who looked like a body-builder," Killam said. "Bran- don put him down in the first round with a big right." His punch is something to be revered, Killam said. In just his second bout, Bridges broke his opponents ribs in the first round. However, his opponent stuck it out and racked up more punches on the judges' score cards. Meanwhile, 14year-old Alex Vodden is continuing to improve in the ring. Killam said the fight promoter in Oakville specifically asked for the young boxer to appear after a savage battle against Alex Fong in August. "It was a good war;" Killam said. "The rematch will be Thursday." Killam said Vodden is hitting harder, getting stronger and his car- dio is improving steadily.
