LOCAL AMATEURS ELIMINATED IN UKRAINE

A trio of Region 11 amateurs represented Team USA at the Victory Day tournament in Uman, Ukraine, this week, with all three eliminated by Ukrainians in the quarterfinals. 

In the 138-pound division, Napa SAL’s Brandon Trejo was stopped on cuts in the second round by Alexander Schet, while Westmoor High’s Suray Mahmutovic (415 BC, S.F.) was outpointed by fellow 178-pounder Richard Gomesh.  110-pounder Evan Sanchez (Fresno PAL) dropped a split decision to Djachenko.

All three boxers are expected to compete at the National Junior Olympics.
