Egan boxes clever to outclass Hungarian

KENNETH EGAN turned in the performance of his boxing career to outclass and outpoint the experienced Hungarian, Istvan Szucs, and qualify for the final of the European Union Championships in Sardinia last evening.

The Dublin light heavyweight - the most experienced boxer in Gary Keegan’s High Performance squad - never had any problems coping with the challenge in a battle for a silver medal.

He was over his opponent in every department. He scored with some brilliant single shots, put some exciting combinations together and everything was reflected on the score sheet at the end of an action-packed four rounds, which showed the Neilstown man 28-18 in front.
