 After 2 preliminary rounds it was a case of mixed fortunes for Dermot and TJ Hamill.
Both the lads won their opening fights, however Dermot was beaten narrowly in his second fight, and TJ managed another convincing win to set up a tough quarter-final against Englishman Neil Perkins the gold-medal favourite in the Welterweight division.
