    Boxing: Irish flyweight Declan Geraghty and middleweight Darren O'Neill
    bowed out of the AIBA World Championships in Milan this evening.

    Geraghty was denied a place in the quarter-finals after a 17-7 to
    Mongolian Tugstogt Nyambayar.

    The 19-year-old was hoping to follow Ken Egan into the last eight
    and began well by going 3-2 up at the end of the first round.

    He opened the gap to two early in the second but his opponent forced
    a standing eight count and shot into a five point lead before racking
    up the points in the third and final round.

    O'Neill was beaten 7-3 reversal by Armenian Andranik Hakobyan.

    The Kilkenny man was always behind and was picked off as he chased
    the a 4-2 deficit in the third round.
