Desmond Amsterdam put on a praiseworthy performance in the light heavyweight gold medal bout last night at the AMBC Championship in Cali, Colombia but had to settle for the silver medal following a close points loss to Canada’s Keven Beausjour.
Despite not ascending to the top of the podium, Amsterdam, a bronze medalist at the event last year, has now qualified for the Pan American Games in Santiago, Chile.
Featherweight, Keevin Allicock, a bronze medalist at this year’s Championships, will also join him in Chile by virtue of being a semifinalist.
