By Cliff Rold - Team USA lost another.
While 23-year old Middleweight Shawn Estrada of East Los Angeles, California’s draw in the 2008 Beijing 165 lb. tournament indicated all along that a Medal might be out of reach, his losing performance against Great Britain’s 22-year old James Degale lacked the fire of a man who wanted to overcome the odds. In the end, it was 11-5 and the score was friendlier than the outcome as America is left before even the start of the Quarterfinals with only three men alive.
