Hobbema boxer Danny Stonewalker punched his way to the top, grabbing the Canadian light-heavyweight title Jan. 29.

The 28-year-old Metis won a unanimous decision over Dave 'Machine Gun' Fiddler of Edmonton for the vacant title before 1,600 spectators at Red Deer's Westerner Exposition Altaplex.

Three judges awarded Stonewalker a unanimous decision in the 12-round bout, one of five on the card deemed 'Judgment Day.'

"I was unloading my arrows a little too fast for the Machine Gun," boasted a stiff and sore Stonewalker, who now has a record of 15-4-1.
