Local amateur boxer Enrique Rodriguez lost on Thursday night in the 125 lb. quarterfinals of the National Golden Gloves tournament in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Enrique was beaten 5-0 by Washington, DC fighter Kevin Rivers. Rivers dominated the fight from start to finish, impressing the judges enough to score the one-sided decision over the hard-working Rodriguez.

Enrigue ends his quest for a national title just two wins short of a spot in the Golden Gloves finals.
