Jajaira Gonzalez of Glendale, California bid farewell to her Olympic dream as she lost her second match of the competition to Brazilian boxer Beatriz Ferreira. However, she deserves praise for her contribution to Team USA Boxing’s outstanding start at the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris. Her triumph over Frenchwoman Estelle Mossely gave Team USA their first win of the tournament and gave her colleagues a boost of confidence. But she won’t be able to support her team, as she is not a part of it anymore. 

Olympics is a game that dabbles with dreams and destinies. The fact that Gonzalez was defeated 5-0 was what saddened her the most. However, the 27-year-old Glendale native thinks it is imperative to keep her head up. She has received a lot of support from fans and online users, in an attempt to ease her grief over her loss. Amidst this, 7-division boxing champion Amanda Serrano offered her support for Gonzalez with a joined hands emoji on social media. 

Furthermore, former WBC silver super middleweight champion Shadasia Green has also come out to show her solidarity and wrote, “They won’t stop you.” Moreover, the assistant coach of Team USA Boxing, Christine Lopez stated, “This young lady right here is a Ba mfker! You haven’t seen the last!” 

In addition, Lopez put out another tweet stating that “scoring was BS”. Is it possible that the judges could make a mistake on such a big level? Well, maybe. Rosie Eccles from Great Britain lost a bout to Polish boxer Aneta Rygielska, despite the fact that the latter lost points for not following the rules in the last round. 

The Eccles-Rygielska fight has been a topic of debate among netizens and spectators of late. However, it would be unjust to say the same about Gonzalez’s fight with Ferreira. Check out what Gonzalez feels about her loss. 

Jajaira Gonzalez believes everything happens for a reason

The 27-year-old took to her X account(previously Twitter), and shared a video stating that she is disappointed and hurt. But at the same time, she feels grateful and blessed for the opportunity. Gonzalez further added, “We made it this far, doesn’t end here. Felt like I was set up from the beginning man, but I feel like I did enough to pull the win. But it is what it is, everything happens for a reason.” 

Furthermore, she thanked everyone who supported her and showed her love by believing in her. “You know, time to work harder. Also, on a side note, if you pro, stay the fu** out the amateurs. Please, because you’re pro for a reason. I’m mad, I did enough,” she concluded. Meanwhile, what do you think about Gonzalez’s remarks about her Olympic loss?
