2011 National Boxing Championships Day 2 - Results

(COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO.) – Several of the United States’ top Olympic hopefuls put on a show on the second day of action at the USA Boxing National Championships in Colorado Springs, Colo. Forty-five bouts of action in eight weight classes were contested in Tuesday’s afternoon action.

The hotly contested male light welterweight division took center stage on the day with defending champion Pedro Sosa (Bronx, N.Y.) suffering an upset loss and 2010 runner-up Michael Reed (Waldorf, Md.) claiming an impressive retirement victory. Sosa dropped a tiebreaker to Thomas Duquette (Waltham, Mass.) in their second round bout.  Duquette claimed a slim one-point advantage after one round but Sosa came back in the second to take an 11-8 edge into the final round. The final bell sounded with the two deadlocked at 11, but Duquette pulled out a 76-75 total punch count win to take the bout. Reed didn’t have the same difficulty in his bout, winning a first round retirement over Dahlton Silva Cordeiro (Kahului, Hawaii). Reed will take on Manuel Lopez (Centennial, Colo.) in quarterfinal action on Wednesday.

Two of the top female lightweights claimed second round wins on Tuesday afternoon to set up a big-time showdown in Wednesday’s quarterfinal action. Four-time national champion Queen Underwood (Seattle, Wash.) won her second straight stoppage of the tournament, putting an end to her bout with Darina Mimms (Greensboro, N.C.) in the third round. Underwood will take on fellow four-time national champion Caroline Barry (Boulder, Colo.) in a highly anticipated contested on Wednesday afternoon. Barry moved on to the quarterfinals with an 11-9 win over 2010 Bantamweight National Champion Lauren Fisher (Dania, Fla.).

Edgar Alvarado, Jr. (San Bernadino, Calif.) continued his impressive performance at the 2011 USA Boxing National Championships with a slim 10-9 win over defending champion Luis Arias (Milwaukee, Wis.). The close victory comes one day after Alvarado upset 2011 USA Boxing National Championships bronze medalist Daquan Arnett (Orlando, Fla.). Alvarado will look to continue his winning streak and earn a spot in the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in his quarterfinal contest with Izaak Cardona (Colorado Springs, Colo.).

In heavyweight action, 2009 National Champion Jordan Shimmell (Hudsonville, Mich.) earned his first win of the tournament with a 12-5 decision over Bobby Dean (Parshall, N.D.). The victory advances Shimmell on to a quarterfinal bout with Javonta Charles (Memphis, Tenn.). 

Second round action will recommence at 6 p.m. with 57 second round bouts at the Colorado Springs Christian School.
