Yamaguchi Falcao Florentino defeats Sumit Sangwan

Brazil's Yamaguchi Falcao Florentino defeats Sumit Sangwan of India in the Olympic light-heavyweight class.

Brazil's Yamaguchi Falcao Florentino has dumped Sumit Sangwan of India out of the Olympic light-heavyweight tournament by virtue of a contentious decision.

The fighters were evenly-matched in the first round, with Sangwan landing a few nice jabs, while the Brazilian returned to the body.

Falcao seemed content to wait and box off the back foot and the Indian proceeded with caution.

Two very good right hands from Sangwan troubled Falcao, who was forced to backpedal slightly, before a straight left once again found its target.

Sangwan trailed by two points as they entered the final three minutes and hurt Falcao with a superb right hand, again causing Falcao to hang on.

The Indian continued to land shots throughout the round, but the judges sided with the Brazilian, who took a 15-14 victory.
