Nolan marches on but McComb makes his exit

London 2012 Olympian Adam Nolan cruised into the last 16 of the European Championships with a unanimous decision (30-27,29-28,29-28) over Polish welter Tomasz Kot in Minsk, Belarus yesterday.

But Belfast lightweight Sean McComb bowed out after dropping a unanimous decision (29-27,29-28,29-29) to Ukrainian 2012 Olympian Pavlo Ischenko.

Nolan dominated all three rounds. The Bray BC southpaw, who is trained by Katie Taylor’s dad Pete and who works as a Garda in Wicklow, will now meet Bogdan Shelestyuk of the Ukraine tomorrow evening.
