Unit 12 87&7221 26--The Canadian Champion, Friday, March 29, 2002 -Boxer 's winning streak snapped in Hamilton Sat. Milton's Hart Jr. suffersfirst loss since switch to Bramalea club By STEVE LeBLANC The Champion It wasn't cxactly the homecoming Matt Hant Jr. had envisioncd. Retuming to, his old stomping ground of Ha-tilton's Regency Boxing Club Saturday, Multon's onily known active pugilist fell victim to thse payback game and had a three-fight win streak snapped. Brantford's Terry Summerbaze - whom he had earned a unan- imous decision over two months ago - played the spoiler, camn- ing a measure of revenge with a nanrow victory against Hant Jr. IJnlike during their initial mid- dleweight bout, computer sconing was done away with last weekend - which, according to thse local fighter, was quite favourable for thse more active Summerbaze. "A lot of people tbought 1 was robbed. Thcy Ijudges) seemcd to give points to the busier fighter, not neccssarily who was landing thec dean shots," Hant Jr. sug- gested. "He was tbrowing a lot of punches but .Matt Hart Jr. I was blocking a lot of them." Also, Brantford's fighter managcd to smothcr him for extended periods of thse îhree-round clashb wbich rcprescntcd a stark con- trast to, Hant Jr.-Summerbaze 1. Said Hant Jr., 1I tbink he knew to smother me. If we had stood toc-to-toc I would bave pickcd him apan. I wasn't able to execute Uiat well but I tbink tIse only round be could bave won was tIse third whcn 1 ran out of gas a bit." Lcnding credence to bis proposcd tuperiority in a more wide- opcn confrontation was a second-round standing eight count to Summerbaze - thse result of a punishing straight-away jab. But Hant Jr. says Ise's not Uiat disappointed wiUi st weckcnd's defeat - Uic first since moving over to, Uic Bramalea Boxing Club in mid-Novcmber. He plans to lcarn from Uic experience so Uiat he triumphs in a rubber match wiUi Summerbaze.
