Egypt's Hossam Bakr reached the quarter-finals of the Olympic boxing competition after overcoming Thailand's Non Boonjumnong on Thursday.

Bakr beat Boonjumnong, who won the silver medal in the 2007 world championship, 11-10 on points.

But his compatriot Ramadan Abdul-Ghaffar did not have a similar fate as he suffered a first-round bye.

Abdul-Ghaffar lost 13-6 to Algerian boxer Abdelhafid Benchebla.
