Đinović in the quarterfinals, Gačević lost by overvoting

After Nikola Lekić and Petar Liješević, Tomislav Đinović was also one step away from a medal at the European boxing championship for younger seniors (up to 22 years old) in Budva.

Đinović defeated Elias Idrizi 3:2, so he will fight with the Portuguese David Duarte in the quarterfinals.

BK competitor "Zlatičanin", in the style of his coaches, forced the referee to count the Dane in the 1st round with devastating blows. In the 2nd, the fight was even, and in the 3rd, Đinović again threw his rival to the floor with a great blow to the plexus.

The Montenegrin boxer, however, earned a public reprimand in the last round, because he threw his rival to the floor with a wrestling grip, which is why he won by the referee's override, and not more convincingly.

"Budva is happy for me, I won bronze here at the European Cup, but now I want the final. Without twisting and calculating, I say - my goal is gold in my hometown, Podgorica," said the Montenegrin trump card in the category up to 60 kilograms.

Unlike him, Luka Gačević in the category up to 63,5 kilograms lost 3:2 against Croatian Marin Jelačić, who showed more desire to win in the decisive, 3rd round.

"We're halfway there, and three guys are fighting for medals," coach Nikola Ružić emphasized.

Liješević (up to 86) will fight for the semi-finals and medal on Thursday against Taulant Jakupi from Kosovo, while Lekić (up to 92) will face Levente Kisa from Hungary.

Bojana Gojković (up to 57 kilograms) and Nina Radenović (up to 63) will enter the ring tomorrow, fighting against Hungarian Rebeka Doboš and Maltese Gail Daćone.

The semi-finals are on Friday, and all the finals on Sunday in "Morača". Judging by the quality of the fights in the first two days, the final matches should be spectacular.
