Hide AdPanter was first up in the semi-final bout, an all-British affair against the highly-rated Welsh champion Milwyn Lloyd.
The England boxer had beaten Lloyd a few months ago which was evident in the opening round.
Panter led 3-2 going into the second but Lloyd came out firing on all cylinders while Panter struggled to find his range and also suffered a bloody nose which needed to be seen twice by the doctor.
The second was split 4-1 and Panter stayed cool under pressure in the third.

In the finals, Mackie was up first against Spanish champion Noelia Salmeron who had claimed a silver medal at the European Championships two weeks previously.
It was Mackie’s work rate that separated the two boxers in the first two rounds, slipping inside the Spaniard’s jab to let attacks go.
By the third, Salmeron was tiring and the last round led to Mackie’s best work as she put the home nation’s fighter on the back foot.

He picked him off at will, hitting the Spaniard with hard one-two punch combinations and came through with a comfortable unanimous victory as Canero ran out of ideas how to contain the Burton park abc boxer.
