By Jake Donovan - Errol Spence remains the last hope for the United States' men's team in 2012 Olympic competition.
The comebacking welterweight received the mother of all second chances when the AIBA overturned his horrifically officiated bout with Krishan Vikas of India late last week, in which the original verdict meant the U.S. men's team denied a single boxing medal for the first time in its history in the Olympics.
While Marlen Esparza and Claressa Shield have denied the overall 12-fighter team from such infamy, the 22-year old Spence still carries a sense of obligation to fight hard and fight on for the red, white and blue.
Standing in his way is tough-as-nails Andrey Zamkovoy of Russia. The winner will go on to Friday's semifinals. [Click Here To Read More]
