(NOV 16) LA NUCIA, Spain –
The second day of boxing at the 2022 Youth World Championships
in La Nucia, Spain saw two more Americans pick up RSC decision
victories to advance in the tournament.
Featherweight Cornellio Phipps
(Oxford, Pa.) continued Team USA’s strong start during the day’s
first session of boxing. Phipps came out fast and strong,
landing multiple combinations and power shots to his opponent,
Sebastian Gutierrez of Bolivia, resulting in all five judges
scoring the round 10-8.
Phipps did not slow down the pace in the second round,
continuing to go to his opponent’s body and land combinations to
take all five judges’ cards once again, including four 10-8
scores, to extend his lead.
Entering the final round, the American had proved to be too much
for Gutierrez, giving his opponent a standing eight count
halfway through the round, which was followed by a second eight
count with :38 left. Phipps saw the opportunity to end the round
early and did just that. The referee stopped the bout with :21
remaining, advancing Phipps to the next round.
“I am happy to get my first RSC in an international tournament,”
stated Phipps after his bout. “I am proud of my performance
today and thought I looked good in there. I am going to keep
going. Stay tuned.”
Phipps will have a rest day tomorrow before returning to the
ring for a bout against England’s Frankie Wood.
Yoseline Perez
(Houston, Texas) continued Team USA’s run of RSC decisions with
her own halfway through the first round of her bout against Aysu
Devrishova of Azerbaijan.
Perez came out in full force from the sound of the bell to
overwhelm her opponent quickly, resulting in back-to-back
standing eight counts with 1:45 and a 1:35 left in the round,
before giving her opponent a third and final eight count with
1:19 left in the opening round.
“I am feeling great, I feel like I am on fire right now. It is a
great feeling getting the rust off,” said Perez. “I just kept
reminding myself to stay sharp, stay long. I feel like I am on a
different level then these girls.”
Perez will return to the ring on Sunday, Nov. 20 for a match-up
with Korea’s Hyeji Park.
Flyweight Ryan Williams (Toledo,
Ohio) and light welterweight Dedrick Crocklem (Tacoma, Wash.)
will step into the ring tomorrow for Team USA. Williams will be
making his international debut against Canada’s Miguel
Montenegro, while Crocklem will look to continue his winning
ways at these championships when he faces Mark Fajardo of the
Philippines. Full schedule can be seen below.
