Samoan welterweight Marion Faustino Ah Tong was swept 5-0 by Jordanian fourth seed Zeyad Ishaish in their quarter-final clash in Amman on Sunday.

Ah Tong, 19, who won gold at last year's Pacific Games, received three standing eight counts during the bout with Ishaish advancing to the semi finals by unanimous decision.

The teenager has previously upset Iran's Sajjad Kazemzadeh Poshtiri 3-2 in the previous round, despite receiving a standing eight count in the final round.

American Samoa light heavyweight Jolando Taala was no match for local hope Odai Alhindawi in the final bout of the morning session.

The Jordanian swept all three rounds to claim victory by unanimous decision. The fourth seeded Taala landed a couple of good short right hands early in the second round but had a point deducted for careless use of the head.

Papua New Guinea lightweight John Ume's tournament was ended by Mongolian third seed Chinzorig Baatarsukh in a unanimous decision.
