AMATEURS

boxer to be eliminated as Croatia’s
Toni Filipi overcame him on a
split decision. “It was a pretty cagey
fight, there was a lot of sussing each
other out and feinting in the first
two rounds in particular,” Browne
reflected. “I felt I was landing the
cleaner shots of the two, but in the
last round I was caught with that
shot that I didn’t see coming and
that may have been the deciding
factor. I’m very disappointed. One
punch can change a fight.”
Irish super-heavyweight Dean
Gardiner also suffered a loss as he
saw a split decision go to Georgia’s
Mikheil Bakhtidze.
Kurt Walker, Ireland’s rival
