(BEIJING, August 24) — Roberto Cammarelle of Italy beat Zhang Zhilei of China in the last bout of the Olympic Boxing tournament, winning gold in the Super-Heavyweight ( 91kg) class.

Zhang was no match for Cammarelle, the Athens 2004 bronze medalist and 2007 world champion. The first three rounds saw Cammarelle outscore Zhang 13-4, and the referee stopped the contest in the fourth round when Zhang fell to the floor after receiving several heavy blows to the head.

Zhang was the bronze medalist at the 2007 World Championships. Zhang advanced to the final after his semifinal opponent, Vyacheslav Glazkov of Ukraine, pulled out due to injury.
