It was a good experience for local boxer Jarid Clarke at last week's Junior/Youth Canadian Boxing Championships.

The under-age boxer lost his only bout, but Coach Rob Hattum says Clarke learned a lot from the experience.



He notes the young boxer immediately recognized that he has got to improve his defense.

Hattum says one of the head officials at nationals told him that Clarke showed enough potential that he should have success at future national events if he keeps at it.
