Irish flyweight Jordan Moore lost out in his bid to reach the semi-finals at the European U/22 Championships in Braila, Romania today.
The Dubliner was beaten on a unanimous decision by England’s William Cawley.
Moore clipped home some neat lefts in response to Cawley’s forays in the first, but received a public warning for dropping his head in the second, a round he needed medical attention in after picking up a cut near his left eye, although he finished out the frame with an excellent hook to the head of his opponent.
The third was equally as close, Moore walking down the English fly who saw out the bout to guarantee himself at least bronze.
Irish referee and judge Philip Rooney was the third man in the ring in today’s corresponding contest featuring Spain’s Gabriel Escobar and Hungary’s Istvan Szaka, Escobar winning.
Dylan Duffy and Keith Flavin box in the quarter-finals tomorrow.
