Dychko - Pfeifer should be good.

What's up with these scores?

The Hungarian should be further ahead.

First fight should be really good too, Lazaro Alvarez Estrada -Joseph Diaz Jr

the cuban, filipino and kazak all looked great today. anyone worth paying special attention to in the later session?

[.:: JSFD26 ::.]

Are the Light Flyweight and Light Welter fights from today gonna be replayed on CNBC at 5PM EST or what? I mean, are they gonna replay the 1-5 fights from Light Fly and Welter. Or are they gonna show the 6-10 fights? This whole schedule is so confusing.

Is the whole Cuban team southpaw or what?

Fidel decided to send the young dudes cause they won't have the balls to defect just yet. But if this group was to defect, we would be making some noise in the sport for sure.

You can bet that all, or most, of those Cuban fighters are converted southpaws. It's a very common practice within their system.

In some ways, the younger guys have less to hold them back: no wife, no children, etc. I'm hoping some of those kids find the courage to take the plunge. These talented young fighters wouldn‘t burn their best years as amateurs. Thing is, their greatest chance at recognition would come after winning a medal. The problem with waiting that long is that the Cuban security that accompanied them to the games would be especially vigilant at that time. I'm very curious to see how many Cuban athletes, if any, defect this time around.
