Moylette hits back after scare

Former European champion Ray Moylette bounced back after being wobbled by Alexandros Tsanikidis in yesterday’s AIBA World Elite Championships clash in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The Mayo light-welter was stunned by a right hook from the Greek boxer in the first round of their last-64 duel but claimed the next two rounds to secure a split decision.

The Philipino judge scored the fight (30-27) to the Greek fighter, but the Polish and Belarusian judges leaned in favour of the Irishman on 29-28 scores.
