	CANOE -- SLAM! 2004 Games Boxing : Fight continues for Stewardson
		Stewardson, the Canadian light heavyweight who had to go to arbitration to be named to the boxing team, left his wife and two young children behind in Thunder Bay as he moved to Medicine Hat to train for the Games here in Athens.
		On a Canadian boxing team of little expectations, he advanced while middleweight Jean Pascal of Montreal, as expected, lost his opening-round match to Cuban Yordani Despaigne Herrera by a 36-24 score, which was not representative of the quality of the fight.
		The strange Olympic scoring system is just part of the unfortunate irony of Olympic boxing: Yesterday the more skilled and stylist Pascal was eliminated while the lanky Stewardson continues hoping he can fight his way into the hearts of Canadians.

		It was again put on hold in Stockholm (1912) because of similar misgivings to those felt in Athens and Paris.
		By contrast with the hype that surrounds professional boxing, the Olympic participants have just raw talent, strength and a will to win.

		The US coaching staff is emphasizing jumping out to quick leads in the first two rounds and then trying to box to victory, but Siler led only 5-4 after Round 1 and 15-10 after two rounds before widening the margin through the third round and early in the fourth.

		As he has throughout his Olympic quest, the left-handed Ward used superior quickness and footwork to move around the ring and pile up points with right jabs, straight lefts and well-timed blows to the body.
