The five Irish boxers in action today

But Peter Vrinceanu and Patrick McCarthy lost to Russian opponents on split and unanimous decisions.
Clancy out-punched Armenia’s Artur Shahakyan in a fiery contest to earn a well-deserved 4-1 decision and Walsh was well on top versus Racz Kristopher in the 60kg class.
