CHICAGO (AP) - Brooklyn lightweight Sadam Ali was eliminated from
the World Boxing Championships after he fell today to Armenia's
Hrachik Javakhyan.
Javakhyan outscored Ali early, then protected his lead by moving
around the ring and effectively countering Ali's attacks.
Ali successfully adjusted his style to keep the match close, but
Javakhyan managed the fight well and won by a score of 20-16.
Ali's loss was a low point on an otherwise successful day for the
U.S. team. Light flyweight Luis Yanez and welterweight Demetrius
Andrade both advanced in the tournament.
Both fighters are one victory away from qualifying for the Beijing
Olympics.
