St Michael's, Athy's Eric Donovan was crowned the Irish lightweight champion when he beat fellow countyman and defending champion Ross Hickey 11-7.
There was to be no glory for Olympian John Joe Joyce who surrendered his light welterweight crown to Crumlin's Philip Sutcliffee, while in the featherweight division St Michael's David Oliver Joyce lost out to Carl Frampton from the Midlands club.

The defeat of Joyce was a surprise result but his opponent was clearly relishing the chance to take on the Olympia. Joyce sensationally lost his title after he was felled twice by Sutcliffe in the first round of the explosive bout.

Joyce, a bronze medal winner and the 2008 European Championships, was looking for his fourth national title on the trot but went down under a left to the body near his own corner in the opening round. Moments later the St Michael's man was down again and at that point, with less than a minute to go to the end of the first, the referee stopped the contest.

However, Eric Donovan was back on top of the winners podium following a thrilling victory over Grangecon's Ross Hickey. Donovan emerged victorious 11-7 from another top class three rounder.
Meanwhile, St Michael's David Oliver Joyce was beaten in the featherweight final by Carl Frampton from the Midland club. Joyce, also the defending champion was dropped in the second and in the round that followed was forced in to a standing count.
The big story to emerged from the weekend's finals was that of Olympic silver medalist Kenny Egan, who became the first ever boxer to win nine Irish title in succession.
The Neilstown club man defeated Belfast light heavyweight Tommy McCarthy to become the only Irish boxer in the 98 year history of the Irish Amateur Boxing Association to win nine Irish senior titles in a row.
However, 18-year-old McCarthy, a bronze medal winner at the 20008 AIBA World Youth Championships, asked a few questions of the Neilstown man, particulary in the second round after he pulled back to within one point but the Ulster teenager didn't do himself any favour when he received a public warning for dropping his head in the second and Egan went in at the interval 6-2 up.
The Dubliner extended his lead to 7-2 with a sweet left seconds in to the third but he too received a public warning before being handed a 9-5 decision.
