Samuel Takyi who has his eyes set on gold could not achieve his dream as he was lost on a 4-1 decision by the five-member referee panel. The second round was a fairly good one for Takyi who pushed his opponent and made some incursions. The defeat brings an end to Takyi’s spell in the Games which has seen him become the first Ghanaian to win an Olympic Medal in 29 years. The defeat also confirms him as Ghana’s fourth boxing medalist at the Olympic Games. Ragan, on the other hand, will continue his search for a gold medal with a fight against the winner of Lazaro Alvarez versus Albert Batyrgaziev.
