Tokyo, Japan (August 3, 2021) Cincinnati, OH’s own, featherweight Duke Ragan, defeated his toughest opponent so far in the Tokyo Olympics, Ghana’s Samuel Takyi. Ragan let his hands go beautifully against the much taller guy who had the longer reach. Duke is tough and did what he was supposed to do: to chop the tree down from the body and working back up top to the head. Well done, Duke! Ragan advances to the Finals after the very impressive victory, won by the score of 4-1. Ragan’s style reminds me of the likes of Mr Gary Russell Jr. LETSGOCHAMP! Bring home the gold!
