Two Beltway Amateurs have advanced to the semi-finals of the USA Boxing National Championships in Fort Carson, CO.
In the 152-pound division, David Grayton of DC won a 22-21 decision over Justin DeLoach of Georgia while Demond Nicholson of Laurel, MD moved into the semis at 165 pounds with a 21-20 decision over LeShawn Rodriguez of Long Island, NY.
At 132 pounds, Gary Antonio Russell of Capitol Heights, MD lost a tough 22-21 decision to 2008 Olympian Raynell Williams of Cleveland, OH. Russell Gaskins of DC lost his quarterfinal bout at 165 pounds to Jesse Hart of Philadelphia, 37-17. Also, Jerry Odom of Bowie, MD fell in his bout at 178 pounds to Robert Brant of Minneapolis, MN, 17-14.
A lot of these scores seem high. It's hard to believe that someone landed 37 clean shots against a competetor that made it that far.
