In an all-Beltway quarterfinal at the US Under 19 National Championships in Kansas City, MO, Gary Allen Russell of Capitol Heights, MD defeated Edgewood, MD's Emmanuel Taylor, 17-14 in a junior welterweight bout that USAboxing.org called the best bout of the day.
Russell took a quick 5-1 lead after one. Each boxer scored three in the second, making the score 8-4. The crowd really got into it in the third round and their support helped Taylor cut Russell's lead to three. The punches flew in the fourth round and Russell came out victorious.
Two other Beltway Boxers won their quarterfinal matches. Palmer Park, MD's Kevin Rivers stopped Panell Fisher of Las Vegas by retirement before the start of the third round of a 125-pound bout. DC's Traon Bynum won a decision over Adrian Martinez of Milwaukee, WI, 8-5 in a 132-pound bout.
