Beltway Boxers won three of four bouts on the first day of competition at the National Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions in Mesquite, NV.
In the 123-pound bracket, Gervonta Davis of Baltimore, MD won by decision over Michael Stoute of New York.
At 141 pounds, defending national champion Michael Reed of Waldorf, MD captured a decision over Amonte Eberhardt of Pennsylvania.
D'Mitrius Ballard of Temple Hills, MD advanced to the next round in the 165-pound bracket with a decision over Martin Schuh of Iowa.
The only loss came at 201 pounds where Albi Sadikas of Fort Washington, MD fell by decision to Jonathan Thrasher of Knoxville, TN. Interesting that Sadikas was even there, considering he participated in the Novice division of the Regional Golden Gloves.

Yeah how did Sadikas manage that. Were there any 201 open class at the regionals .
Anybody seen neiko at 152 box
And he lost at Regionals...how did that happen?
Yes Gary, I'm also curious to know how things work as far as boxers that loose but yet advance to the next round. There was a case earlier also where a novice boxer that lost in the finals of of the Golden Gloves ended up fighting in the regionals.
Well the above comment could have been a simple explanation in that, maybe the champion was unable to compete so they had the runner-up. the Novice regional fights are just to make additional fights. There are no "qualifiers" at the novice division. But to go to nationals, a fighter is supposed to "qualify" at regionals in the open division. How one loses in the novice regionals and then represents DC in the nationals (only open fighters) is beyond me?
