Comments Thread For: Benjamin Whittaker, Arlen Lopez To Vie For Light Heavyweight Gold Medal

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

If the first three rounds of light heavyweight competition has proven anything, it's that it would take a near-perfect performance to fend off Imam Khataev. Benjamin Whittaker was up to the task. Great Britain is assured of at least a Silver medal at light heavyweight following Whitaker's split decision win over ROC's Khataev in the semifinal round Sunday afternoon at Kokugikan Arena in Tokyo. Khatav won 30-27 on the card of Moroccan judge Makfouni Abdellatif, overruled by scores of 30-27, 30-27, 29-28 and 29-28 in favor of Whittaker.

I thought Whittaker boxed well there. After the first round scorecards I feared the judges wouldn't go for his backfoot style.
