Moylette’s late flourish decisive

WITH the business end of the tournament looming, European light welterweight champion Ray Moylette turned in another barnstorming finish to beat Arturs Ahmetous (Latvia) 16-11 and qualify for the last 32 in Baku yesterday.

The Westport man, world youth champion in 2008, was 8-7 down after the second round before turning in another sensational third round to finish in typical fashion.

IABA president Tommy Murphy admitted it was a performance similar to the box-off when he came from way behind to beat Ross Hickey to clinch his place on the team.
