Emphatic win keeps Egan on course

KENNY EGAN kept his Olympic dream alive with an emphatic victory over fellow Dubliner Michael Frayne (St. Mary’s) in the Elite Boxing Championship quarter-finals at the National Stadium on Saturday night.

After dominating from the opening bell, the Beijing silver medallist was leading 24-9, forcing Frayne to take three standing counts, when the referee stepped the fight with 12 seconds remaining.

The Neilstown southpaw left nothing to chance. He impressed with accurate jabs delivered with pinpoint accuracy, setting Frayne up for big shots.
