Vikings' Asher Allen retires at age 24
ATHENS, Greece, Aug. 27 (UPI) -- American middleweight Andre Dirrell lost his Olympic semifinal bout Friday and will have to settle for a bronze medal.
Dirrell dropped a 23-18 decision to Kazakhstan's Gennadiy Golovkin.
The only other United States boxer still in the tournament, light-heavyweight Andre Ward, had a semifinal bout scheduled for later Friday. Ward is unbeaten since 1998.
Dirrell led through the first round, but Golovkin scored on a flurry of punches inside the 40-second mark of the second round. That gave Golovkin a 10-7 advantage going into the third round.
