Cuban boxer edges Stevenson

Cuban boxer Robeisy Ramirez used a strong third round to finish off top American prospect Shakur Stevenson and win boxing gold in the bantamweight final.

Ramirez, now a twotime Olympic gold medalist, won 29-28 on two scorecards and celebrated his gold with a back flip in the ring. The 19-year-old Stevenson, fighting out of Newark, N.J., won one card 29-28.

Stevenson, who had been cheered on by retired great Floyd Mayweather earlier in the tournament, sobbed with a towel over his head after losing an international bout for the first time.
