Round 1 - Part 1:

Eder Jofre 1-0-0 (1), Brazil vs Ndabe Dube 2-0-0 (1), Zimbabwe - Jofre was his usual brilliant self, sticking and moving and scoring at will to wear down Dube. He then scored knockdowns in the 8th, 9th and 10th before the referee halted the bout for the 10th round TKO.

Carlos Zarate 5-0-0 (4), Mexico vs Feliciano Dario Azuaga Ledezma 1-0-0 (1), Paraguay - Zarate dropped Azuaga Ledezma in the 1st and 6th rounds enroute to a 6th round TKO.

Agustin Senin 2-0-0 (1), Spain vs Johnny Caldwell 2-0-0 (2), Ireland - Senin was in a brawl with Caldwell who scored well throughout, though Senin dominated, scoring a knockdown in the 10th then finishing the job with devastating combinations before the referee halted the bout in the 11th.

Terry McGovern 6-0-1 (5), United States vs Joe Tei Ken 3-0-0 (1), South Korea - This was all McGovern all the time as he scored a knockdown in the 8th, 2 in the 9th then the final one early in the 10th for the devastating KO.

Fighting Harada 4-0-0 (2), Japan vs Alex Baba 3-0-0 (2), Ghana - This was action packed, with Harada surviving a 4th round knockdown by Baba to take the late lead only to be disqualified for his 6th foul, a blatant low blow in the 14th, sending Baba to the 2nd round. This was the first big upset of the round, and Harada was up 7-4, 6-4 and 6-4 through the 13th round.

Sixto Escobar 1-0-0 (1), Puerto Rico vs Bernardo Pinango 3-0-0 (2), Venezuela - Escobar set the tone early, with a 1st round knockdown, then survived a scare when he went down to a Pinango right hand in the 6th. Escobar dropped Pinango again in the 13th enroute to the 10-5, 11-4 and 9-6 decision.

Pete Sanstol 0-0-0 (0), Norway vs Sasha Bakhtin 1-0-0 (0), Russia - For the most part this was a tactical bout, but Bakhtin scored a huge knockdown to swing momentum in the 8th round and finished strong to eek out the 8-7 decision on my card. The judges had it 8-7 Sanstol, 8-7 Bakhtin and a very odd 10-4 card for the winner by split decision Sanstol.

Miguel Lora 3-0-0 (2), Columbia vs Freddie Gilroy 2-0-0 (0), Northern Ireland - Lora built up the early lead behind slick movement and terrific spurts of offense in what was an action packed early round. Gilroy kept stalking, scoring well as Lora wilted under the pressure in the late rounds before finally dropping Lora two times in the fatal 14th before the referee halted the bout for the upset by Gilroy. Lora was up 7-5 on one card while Gilroy was up 7-6 and 7-4 on the other two through the 13th.
