FIRST PLACE


(1) Kanai Tapia, Kamehameha vs. (2) Branden Pagurayan, Kapolei
— Tapia, Dec 3-2

Notes: Pagurayan is No. 2 pound-for-pound while Tapia is No. 4. … Scoreless after one. Pagurayan gets the escape in the second. 1-0. Could he possibly keep Tapia down for two minutes? Nope. He made it 55 seconds. 1-1 with a minute to go. Tapia shoots in for a double leg and puts Pagurayan down hard. Thunderous takedown to take the lead. Pagurayan flips out for an escape and the whistle sounds with one seconds left. It’s over. Tapia wins 3-2.
