Boxer Emmanuel Pompey went down via split decision at his first Pan American Games at the Olympic Training Centre in Santiago, Chile.
In the Men’s 92kg bout, Pompey fell to Antiguan Tabukuo Aska and, on reflection, would rue not winning as he had moments of brilliance.
The five judges had it 29-28, 30-27, 28-29, 30-27 and 30-27 in Aska’s favour.

Pompey’s fight was the only competitive action for Team Guyana on Friday, but on Saturday, Swimming, Boxing, Badminton, and Taekwondo will be in action as the Games shift a gear after the opening ceremony on Friday evening at the Julio Martínez National Stadium from 20:30hrs.
