Nevada’s Garrett Felling, one of the program’s most decorated fighters, narrowly avoided disaster on Friday but came away with his first win of the season by decision and the 12th of his career. Felling went up against Air Force’s Den Tati-Mackaya, who he faced to win the 195-pound national championship last year, to headline the evening’s season debut for Nevada boxing.
