Samuel Takyi advances to quarter-finals spot in boxing
Last week Ghana’s Samuel Takyi secured progress to the quarter-finals of the men’s 52-57 kilogram featherweight boxing on Wednesday morning.
Takyi, 20, dominated his opponent throughout the five rounds of the bout to leave no doubt in the mind of the judges to declare him the unanimous winner.
His opponent, Juan Carlos Caicedo Pachito of Ecuador, came back stronger in the second round of the fight and managed to score 4/5 from the judges.
Takyi becomes the second Ghanaian boxer to advance to the next round after the captain of the Black Bombers, Sulemanu Tetteh, qualified to the Round 4 stage two days ago.
