Africa-Press<\/a> – Uganda<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>Catherine Nanziri looked painfully out of sorts en route to clattering out of Tokyo 2020 at the round of 32 yesterday. The 21-year-old flyweight, who became the first female boxer from Uganda to compete at the Olympics, was bereft of ideas against an astute Japanese adversary.<\/p>\n

Nanziri went into her bout against Tsukimi Namiki confident that her superior reach would make the jab a handy scoring weapon.<\/p>\n

Namiki, 21, however used her ring craft to demonstrate \u2013 with such absurd ease \u2013 that a shorter reach fighter can outbox a longer reach fighter.<\/p>\n

The pint-sized Japanese\u2019s masterclass showed just why boxing is a sweet science. She floated like a butterfly, and stung like a bee on the way to a unanimous decision win (5-0).<\/p>\n

While Nanziri was so flat-footed to the point being glued to the canvas, Nakimi turned in an impressive work rate after staying light on her feet.<\/p>\n

Bombers coach, Patrick Lihanda could be heard nervously urging Nanziri to \u201cmove\u201d as Namiki produced some scintillating footwork.<\/p>\n

The Japanese landed a huge volume of punches whenever she came forward, and it came as no surprise that she comprehensively won all three rounds comprehensively.<\/p>\n

Namiki will now face Brazil\u2019s Grazieli de Jesus in the round of 16 as Nanziri continues to lick her wounds.<\/p>\n
