John Joe Nevin is through the the AIBA President's Cup final following a resounding 15-2 semi final victory over Kanut Abutalipov of Kazakhstan and Asia (2) in Baku, Azerbaijan yesterday.
Nevin, of the Cavan BC, was 8-2 up at the end of the second round and added another seven unanswered pointsto his total in the third and final frame.
The 20 year old Irish senior champ is representing an 11 man Europe (2) team in Baku and will now meet Uzbek and Asia (1) puncher Shayimov Orzubek in today's (Dec 11) 54Kg final.
Two teams from the Americas, Asia and Europe and one team apiece from Africa and Oceania are battling it out at the continental deciders for a $50,000 dollar cash prize.
Nevin's Europe (2) team were still one point adrit of leaders Europe (1) last night. The top spot will almost certainly be claimed by either of the above squads.
The individual gold medal winners in each category will also receive cheque's for $3,000. Nevin, a bronze medal winner at the 2009 AIBA World Championships, beat Australian and Oceania bantamweight Luke Byod in the last eight.
