Coach Acevedo wanted to see me and Miguel box three competition rounds today.
He took lots of points off me in the first. In the second I attacked and landed my double hook that left Miguel unable to reply. He kept away in the last, I gave chase but he countered well and I lost the round.
After the decision I wished Miguel well for the Games and went to change.
Acevedo's assistant José Urrutia was waiting for me. He told me Acevedo was pleased and offered encouragement to continue training hard and following my diet.
