From black to purple, Saturday was indeed an epic day. To remember yet another great moment from the 2012 Worlds, watch the middleweight Keenan Cornelius’s conquest over the valiant Paulo Miyao in the absolute final, and get a glimpse of the Lloyd Irvin student being tossed high on Saturday night. An unforgettable evening for team Lloyd Irvin and anyone who likes seeing records being set.
