Daina Moorehouse is up and operating on the Path to Paris after getting her Olympic Qualifier marketing campaign off to the right begin this morning.
The Enniskerry boxer confirmed the total extent of her skills as she outthought, outboxed and when referred to as to take action out fought a high quality opponent in Anush Girgoryan.
The final Irish boxer to climb by means of the ropes in Thailand made certain it was well worth the wait by reserving her place within the 50kg final 16 with a 4-1 win over the Armenian.
Moorehouse pressed ahead within the opening body and scored with common quick flurries to take the stanza 4-1. Within the second she needed to present some backfoot capability when taking the second earlier than being prepared for the ultimate stand of her foe within the final.
Having needed to wait every week to get into the ring, Moorehouse is again within the ring once more tomorrow in final-eight motion.
Aidan Walsh is in subsequent as he takes his first shot at Olympic qualification takes on Asian Video games medal winner Zeyad Eashash.
Grainne Walsh returns for her third bout later within the day. The Offaly native, who fights out of St Mary’s Dublin, contests towards Ivory Coast’s Sedja Sanogo in Bout 3 of Ring B’s Night Session, at round 1 pm.
