Thailand's Somjit Jongjohor did not seem to be firing on all cylinders as he easily beat Cuban Andris Laffita Hernandez in the men's fly (51kg) final of the Beijing Olympic boxing tournament on Saturday.

Somjit, the 2003 world champion, made a solid start in the first bout at 2-0 and claimed the next four points in the second bout while the Cuban pulled one point back to trail 6-1 behind at the end of the bout.

The Thai was never really threatened in the next two bouts, closing out the final at 8-2.
