(CHICAGO, ILL.) – Flyweight Rau’shee Warren (Cincinnati, Ohio) officially made history on Wednesday, becoming the first U.S. boxer since 1976 to go to two Olympic Games with a 25-11 victory over the Philippines Violito Payla. Light flyweight Luis Yanez (Duncanville, Texas) had to wait over a week, but he enjoyed a successful debut, winning a second round stoppage over Australia’s Stephen Sutherland. The victory guaranteed Yanez a berth in the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, China, bringing the U.S. total to three. [details]
