Chris Mullally joined Joe Ward and Michael Reilly in the quarter-finals
of the AIBA World Junior Championships courtesy of an impressive 7-2
win over Turkey's Ihsan Erdogan in Yerevan, Armenia yesterday.
However, St Michael's Athy ace Christy Joyce was beaten 17-6 by
Russian featherweight Dmitry Kulakov.
Mullaly's win ensures that three Irish boxers will be competing for
at least bronze medals at the Yerevan Sports Centre on Wednesday.
The Irish trio will face two Russian and one Israeli opponent.
Earlier in the day, Ward and Reilly won their last 16 match-ups.
But Newry bantamweight Ryan McKeown bowed out on a 12-9 verdict,
despite producing a top class performance against Belzhan Amantayev
of Kazakhstan.
Moate light-middleweight Ward stopped Denis Rybak of Kazakhstan in
the third round this morning - Ward was 7-0 up when the bout was
halted 45 seconds into the third frame.
That win arrived just before Reilly shaded a thrilling contest
with Manuel Osorio of Puerto Rico, winning the see saw light 66kg
showdown 5-4, the Drimnagh club-man snatching victory from the jaws
of a count-back with the final score in the last five seconds.
