Russell, Reed, A. Douglas Advance; Ballard Falls in USA Nationals!

Two of the top boxers in the Men's 141-pound division in the nation are one step closer to another meeting at the USA Boxing National Championships in Colorado Springs, CO. Capitol Heights, MD's Gary Allen Russell and Mike Reed of Waldorf, MD advanced during this afternoon's preliminary session.

Russell won a 28-17 decision over Andy Vences of San Jose, CA. Reed won by retirement over Dahlton Cordeiro Silva of Kahului, HI. The two could eventually meet in the finals.

In the 165-pound bracket, Antoine Douglas of Burke, VA won an all-Virginia matchup over Immanuwel Aleem of Richmond, 20-9. There was a huge upset in the bracket as top-seeded D'Mitrius Ballard of Temple Hills, MD lost to Noel Godson of Bloomfield, NJ, 19-7.

We'll have the evening results later tonight.
