Pugilist Keevin Allicock yesterday suffered a unanimous points defeat in his quarterfinal bout when fistic action at this year’s Pan American Games continued yesterday in Santiago, Chile.

Fighting out of the blue corner, the orthodox fighter dropped a 0-5 decision against Jahmal Harvey of the United States of America in their 57kg matchup.

The five judges scorecards read, 29-28 and 30-27×4 all in favor of the 20-year old American southpaw, a gold medalist at the 2021 AIBA World Championships.
