It followed equally dominant displays in Saturday’s semi-final against New Zealand and Thursday’s quarter-final against Nauru.

Hammond’s win in the final came after the referee stopped the fight with him leading 10-2 in the third round.

“He came out and dominated from the opening bell,” said the 20-year-old welterweight’s coach, Danny Cheetham.

The Tongan, Viliami Mahe Latu, had the life drained out of him in the first round, as his body was worked over by an aggressive opponent.

The punishment continued in the second, before he was given his first count early in the third.

While Latu decided to fight on, the referee was forced to call a halt to the one-sided bout shortly after.

In the quarter-final, Hammond had an easy 11-1 victory over Nauru’s Joseph Dereigea.

“Nauru was never a chance against the likes of Cameron,” said Cheetham, who explained that The Hammer made a point of backing off towards the end of the fight in order to conserve energy.

In the semi-final, he inflicted an impressive 8-1 defeat on Kiwi Kahu Benson, a highly experienced boxer who claimed the scalp of Daniel Geale, the 2002 Commonwealth Games gold medallist, earlier in his career.

Hammond raced out to a 7-0 lead, before coasting through the last round so as to save himself for the following day’s final.

For the final, the Australian Institute of Sport coaches instructed Hammond to come out hard, and to maintain his focus for the entire fight. Cheetham reinforced the message, telling Hammond “not just to beat him [Latu], but beat him up”.

With Hammond’s appearance in the Commonwealth Games just eight weeks away, the Oceania Championships provided a great opportunity to sharpen his skills and improve his fitness.

“The AIS coaches told me they couldn’t be happier with the way Cameron is progressing to the Commonwealth Games,” Cheetham said.
