* The boxers had mixed results. Aristead Clayton, on the losing end of some questionable judging, dropped a three-round decision in the 119-pound class to Mexico's Javier Calderon to become the fifth member of the 12-man U.S. boxing team eliminated in his first fight.
Teammate Patrice Brooks had a tougher battle with a stomach ailment that has been affecting U.S. fighters than he did his opening opponent. Brooks, weakened by a four-day bout with illness, took a 15-2 decision over Mark Richardson of Guyana in a lackluster fight at 132 pounds.
