Harry Garside got a late Aussie win in boxing
By Russell Jackson
In Sunday’s round of 32 bout of the lightweight (57-63kg) division in Tokyo, Garside defeated Papua New Guinea’s John Ume with a unanimous 5-0 points victory.
The Australian recovered from an early wobble and wore out his hard-punching opponent, defending expertly and peppering Ume to pre-empt a dangerous right that never came.
It secures Garside, who won gold in the lightweight division at the 2018 Commonwealth Games, a date with a trickier opponent still in Namibia’s Jonas Jonas — also a Commonwealth Games gold medallist in 2018, albeit in the light welterweight division.
