The American winning streak in the Olympic boxing ring came to end Monday afternoon when light heavyweight Marcus Browne of Staten Island was outpointed 13-11 by Australia’s Damien Hooper, a fighter with longer arms, a nastier attitude and more tattoos.
Browne, 21, was slightly ahead entering the third and final round. But Hooper was the one who rushed out of his corner aggressively, landing a flurry of punches with a minute and a half to go that caused the referee to pause the bout for a standing eight count.
