Boxing: City trio's Amateur heartache
Lochend welterweight Tommy Philbin battled bravely against English 2010 Commonwealth Games Silver medallist Callum Smith, who won 10-1 on points, although winner Smith himself conceded that the margin of victory may have flattered him after Philbin only lost round one by a narrow 2-1 score.
Meanwhile, another top English boxer, Martin Ward, beat Lochend's Scottish 60kg champion Josh Taylor by 11-5, while, at light-welterweight, Craigmillar's Scottish 63kg champion Jason Easton was stopped in round two while trailing English Commonwealth games Silver medallist Bradley Saunders by a massive points deficit of 16-1.
