There are two Beltway Boxers remaining in the Women's US Olympic Boxing Trials in Spokane, WA. Baltimore 112-pounder Tyrieshia Douglas stayed in the competition by scoring the first stoppage of the tournament. Douglas stopped Taversha Norwood of Marietta, GA in the fourth round of their bout.
Meanwhile, 165-pounder Franchon Crews of Baltimore won a narrow 27-26 decision over Tiffanie Hearn of San Diego, CA. This was a battle of national champions in this weight class -- Hearn was champ in 2010, Crews is the reigning national titleholder. The two also met in the Pan American Games box-off with Crews emerging victorious.
DC 132-pounder Asia Stevenson has been eliminated from the competition as she was stopped by 2011 National Golden Gloves champion Mikaela Meyer of Los Angeles, CA in the fourth round.
Also in the 132-pound class, Tiara Brown, a boxer from Florida who trains in DC at the Headbangers gym, won a 12-11 decision over Bertha Aracil.
Tonight, Douglas will take on Virginia Fuchs of Kemah, TX; Brown battles Mikaela Meyer and Crews faces off against Raquel Miller of San Francisco, CA.

Tyreisha looked strong tonight. Asia was overmatched again. She was down by more than 20 pts after the 3rd round. Franchon's bout was very sloppy. Tiara looked good in a tough battle.
