Boxer Suffers Setback
Lampkin reprioritizes after disqualification
Up and coming boxing featherweight
from northeast Portland suffered a dis­
couraging blow when he missed the
USA Boxing Olympic team trials be­
cause he overslept.
O fficials say that although Ray
Lampkin III was only five minutes late
to his weigh in, he was disqualified from
the team.
Lampkin, who trains at the Matt
Dishman Community Center, is still the
first alternate for the Olympic Team. He
will train with Olympians from June 3rd
through 17th at North Michigan Univer­
sity.
Lampkin will also fight in the Titan
World Games in Atlanta, Ga. from June
17* through 20th. He will compete against
fighters from Germany and Mexico in
those games.
He’s toying with turning pro after the
summer Olympics but says he may con­
tinue gaining experience in the amateur
ring.
