Aberrazak Houya strives to beat Gaybatulla Gadzhialiyev

Tunisia's Abderrazak Houya digs deep to battle past Azerbaijain's Gaybatulla Gadzhialiyev and into the last 16 of the Olympic light welterweight tournament.

Tunisia's Abderrazak Houya has staged a dramatic late comeback to down Azerbaijain's Gaybatulla Gadzhialiyev.

The Azeri displayed some slick technique in opening a three-point gap after the first round. He preserved that gap after the second, but was perhaps unlucky not to be ahead by further.

Ouya upped the tempo and was the better fighter in the final round as he chased the bout. Gadzhialiyev had started to tire and was hanging on as the Tunisia launched everything at him.

Despite seemingly doing enough to hold on, a 19-16 decision was awarded to Houya when the judges had deemed that he won the final round by 11 points to five.
