Michael Conlon eases into last eight

Ireland's Michael Conlan eases past Ghana's Duke Micah and into the last eight of the welterweight competition.

Ireland's Michael Conlan has easily dispatched Ghana's Duke Micah to reach the last eight of the welterweight competition.

Conlon made a solid start to the contest and worked behind his jab well to open up a three-point lead after the first round.

The Irishman continued to keep his opponent at range in the second, using his faster reflexes to counter impressively as Micah plodded forward.

Conlon produced the best punch of the fight with a straight left, before tucking up tightly as the Ghanaian tried to make an instant reply.

Micah came out all guns blazing in a desperate attempt to find a knockout punch, but Conlon was far too elusive and continued to pick his opponent off.

Conlon took a comprehensive 19-8 verdict.
