Stevenson can turn defeat into pro success
RIO DE JANEIRO, (Reuters) - Shakur Stevenson’s bid for Olympic gold ended in tears yesterday but the U.S. bantamweight could see a silver lining as he contemplated his future as a professional.
Beaten in the final by Cuba’s Robeisy Ramirez, now a twotimes champion, Stevenson left the Rio arena and squatted, sobbing, outside with a towel covering his head to hide his distress.
