Duke Ragan, a Cincinnati, OH. native who bleeds the orange and black stripes of the hometown NFL Bengals, stands up for Ohio and, along with fellow Ohioans Delante “Tiger” Johnson & Oshae Jones, all achieved Round of 16 wins in Tokyo

(Tokyo, Japan-July 28, 2021) In the featherweight division USA’s own Duke Ragan squared off against Serik Temirzhanov from Kazakhstan in the round of 16 at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. From the opening bell, Ragan looked to be in complete control of the fight. He controlled every aspect of the fight. 

He showed great ring generalship and fought the entire fight at his pace. I believe Ragan’s combinations and body worked began to break his opponent down. It truly looked like a professional boxer fighting an amateur, which actually proves to be the case. 

All in all, it was a very dominant performance by Ragan. He’s one win away from medaling in the Olympics, with his next opponent in the quarterfinals. 

Ragan will now face Ireland’s Kurt Walker, A tall rangy fighter who uses his feet well and boxes from the outside. He knows how to use his distance to his advantage. 

Walker upset the #1 seed last night and he also put on a boxing clinic. Ragan vs Walker will be Saturday July 31st. This will be both fighters’ toughest fight so far In the Olympics, USA’s Duke Ragan is inching closer and closer to achieving his dream of fighting for that gold medal. Bring it home Duke!!!
