Carlo Paalam displayed his winning form with a unanimous decision victory against Jude Gallagher of Ireland in the Round of 16 of the men's 57kg boxing event at the 2024 Paris Olympics on Wednesday at the North Paris Arena. Paalam is now through to the quarterfinals round where a win will assure him of at least a bronze medal.However, he can still go farther and set foot at the gold medal round where he can tie or surpass his silver medal output in the Tokyo Olympics three years ago.
An aggressive Paalam opened the first round, showing off his quick footwork and solid punches to get the nod of three of the five officials with judges Yermek Suiyenish of Kazakhstan and Pavel Pavlov of Bulgaria giving higher points to Gallagher. The 22-year-old Gallagher took advantage of his height, but Paalam didn't waver and got a 5-0 score in the frame.
