What happened to Queen Underwood?

[locoxelbox]

What happened to Queen Underwood?

She lost to multiple Pan American champion Adriana Araujo, Brazil 18-8.

The cubans did well with seven gold. However, surprising loss for Robeisy Ramirez.

[mike222]

Queen Underwood lost to eventual winner Adriana Arjaou 18-8 in her first fight.
Incidentally I thought there were three places for the finals at the three heaviest weights for men but no news of a box-off for Danny Kelly as yet

[boxmel]

Queen Underwood lost to eventual winner Adriana Arjaou 18-8 in her first fight.

Darn. Sorry to hear this. And it wasn't even close. :(

The tournament info stated that the semi-finalist who lost to the boxer who won the tournament would be the #3 boxer and qualify. If that still holds true, Danny Kelly is our only boxer to qualify so far for the Pan Am Games.
