Rau'shee Warren one win away from return to Olympics

Rau'shee Warren RSC3 Avila Braulio Juarez... Flyweight  Rau'shee Warren  (Cincinnati) is just one win away from a return trip to the Olympics. Warren piled up a 23-3 lead over Mexico's Avila Braulio Juarez requiring the referee to stop the contest in the third round.  “This wasn’t as rough as the first one,” Warren said. “I just wanted to build up the lead early. I started off throwing my hook, but the coaches told me that my straight shots were working and they wanted me to throw straight punches.” Warren will face the Philippines’ Violito Payla on Wednesday with the winner clinching a trip to the Beijing games next year. source: usa boxing
