Celt Fight Night... in pictures

If you're a hardcore Varsity Times Insider peruser (and you are if you're still visiting the blog on a daily basis in late June), then you probably already know about last Friday's Celt Fight Night.

From all accounts, it was one heck of a show and it looks like it was a lot of fun. I'm just bummed out I couldn't make it out to Pierce College for this annual showdown between what appears to be mostly football players-turned-pugilists.

Crespi big man Karim Williams, who built a reputation as one of the area's top linemen last fall, delivered a first-round knockout in the main event. Interestingly, he's flirting with the idea of pursuing boxing over a football scholarship to Grambling. And remember -- he is "the 818."

Anyway, here are some shots from the fight night courtesy of Crespi sports photographer Brian MacGregor. Enjoy!

Guilty as charged for the first two counts.

I am also bummed that I missed the event. From what all my Celt buds have told me, it was awesome (or a knockout, if you will).

Good job Coach!

Thanks Austin and ES for shedding some light on the event.

I went to the fight and I have to say I was totally impressed with all the fighters. The first pictures are of up and coming Marc Perales and his fight was pretty awesome. He knocked his opponent out three times before the second round was over. That's one Crespi student to watch in Basketball, Football and now Boxing.
