Beltway Boxers Kevin Rivers and Traon Bynum have advanced to the finals of the Under-19 National Championships in Kansas City, MO.
In the 125-pound semi-finals, Palmer Park, MD's Rivers scored his second straight stoppage of the tournament, halting Daniel Guerrero of Bryan, TX at 34 seconds of the first round. Rivers will battle Olympic Trial participant Ronny Rios of Santa Ana, CA in tomorrow's final.
DC's Bynum won his matchup in the 132-pound semis by defeating Robert Easter of Toledo, OH by decision, 23-16. Bynum will take on Arlo Argueta of Phoenix, AZ in the finals.
Allen Russell of Capitol Heights, MD lost by walkover in the 141-pound semifinals to Roscoe Hill of Spring, TX. We're hearing reports that Russell was late getting to the scales for the weigh-in today. Tournament officials reportedly would not let Russell weigh-in because he was not ready to weigh-in when his name was called.
No official word yet on this, but there may be an interesting championship bout in the 201-pound division. Nick Kisner of Glen Burnie, MD is slated to take on Hasim Rahman, Jr of Las Vegas. Kisner has not fought in the tournament yet. However, he may have received a bye to the finals because there were only three boxers in his weight class.

Nick is facing Rahman Jr. in finals tomorrow. He is going to give him a boxing lesson.

I think the only boxers (I didn't write it down) that boxed from Wed to Sat each night and won all 4 were: Dusty Harrison, Lamont Roach, Zimmie Dickinson, Gervonta Davis, Dimitrius Ballard, Jerry Odom.
Lamont Roach fought 3 days total, not 4. sorry.
Ballard I'm not sure about. I know Zimmie fought each night because bouts are online. Tank, not sure because I only saw him vs. Darryl and then final. Jerry fought every night too.
