Australia claimed two Commonwealth titles on the weekend with Zac “Dynamo” Dunn 23-0 (18) outpointing Sheffield, England’s Liam “Cannonball” Cameron 19-5 (7) in Melbourne, Victoria on Friday night and Kris George 12-1 (6) beating the highly-favoured Cameron “The Hammer” Hammond 16-1 (8) by unanimous decision in an all-Aussie showdown in Toowoomba, Queensland on the same night.
