Heads up: Olympian update 2

Tuscaloosa’s Deontay Wilder lost to Clemente Russo of Italy earlier today in the heavyweight boxing semifinals. Both he and Cuba’s Osmai Acosta Duarte (who lost his semifinal bout) take home bronze medals from the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing.

He didn’t score a point until the eighth round, saying “Guys with my experience don’t do that well against guys like that.” It was Team USA’s worst Olympic performance ever in boxing.
