Hawaii boxers go down in U.S. Championships

Only three Hawaii boxers survived the second round of the U.S. Amateur Boxing Championships at Colorado Springs, Colo., yesterday.

Shawn Murphy of Aiea advanced with a win, while Colleen Loo of Mililani received a bye into the next round.

Hawaii's best hopes in the tournament were victims of bad draws, as Brent Rodrigues of Kurtistown, Hawaii, was stopped in the second round by 2004 Golden Gloves, Police Athletic League and Under-19 champion Daniel Jacobs of Brooklyn, N.Y. Rodrigues was leading 4-2 after the first round but got caught with a body shot that ended his night. Tinei Sua of Kahuku and Jenna Oda of Kailua both lost to defending champions.

Christopher Downs of Schofield Barracks no longer trains in Hawaii but advanced when he stopped Valentino Jalamo of Amarillo, Texas, in the first round.

Local fighters Tiana Over of Kihei, Maui, and Armando Ezzo-White of Pearl City lost their bouts yesterday.
