Worker's Gymnasium continues to represent hostile territory for Team Australia as three more boxers from Down Under have been defeated in Beijing.

On Tuesday, 17 year old flyweight Stephen Sutherland of Melbourne had difficulty scoring points against Tunisian veteran Walid Charif and was beaten 14-2. As with the defeat of boxer Todd Kidd earlier this week, Team Australia coaches have questioned what they see as blatant one-sided scoring by the Olympic judging.

Also yesterday, bantamweight Luke Boyd of Sydney gave a good performance but came up short on a score of 18-8 to Botswana's Khumiso Ikgopoleng.

Today in Beijing, the difficulties continued for Team Australia as the man considered the best hope to medal was turned back.

Melbourne heavyweight Brad Pitt put up a good fight but couldn't get past the efforts of Morocco's Mohammed Arjaoui, losing 11-6 after four rounds.

Only super heavyweight Dan Behan has yet to compete at the games as the Gladstone based boxer will meet Kazakhstan's Ruslan Myrsatayev later today and will hopefully join team mate Anthony Little in staying alive for the second round.
