Irish fighters Jack Marley and Daina Moorehouse were beaten in their OIympic Games bouts at Nord Arena on Thursday night.
Marley was just one fight away from a medal as he lost 4-1 to Tajikistan’s Davlat Boltaev in the quarter-finals of the men’s 92kg.
The 21-year-old Dubliner trailed from the first round against the skilful Boltaev, who stayed in front to earn at least a bronze medal.
Marley progressed to the last-eight stage by defeating Mateusz Bereznicki of Poland on a split decision.
Moorehead suffered a controversial defeat to France’s Wassila Lkhadiri in her women’s flyweight fight.
The judges awarded victory to Lkhadiri on a 4-1 split decision but Moorehead felt it was not a true reflection of the contest.
“I don’t know what they’re judging by – I still think I am a better boxer than her,” the 22-year-old from Bray told RTE Sport.
“I tried my best. I knew getting in I was going to be booed, I didn’t let any of that faze me. I don’t know what to say.”
