Olympic Boxing - Rio 2016

One way traffic. Levit's never going pro I guess?

Best performance I've seen. He's the guy who beat Jason Quigley in the final at Almaty three years ago.

Yeah, I remember that fight. Maybe they'll meet in the pros one day. That's if Alimkhanuly turns pro of course.

Anyone reckon they'll bring back headguards?

Absolutely gutted for Paddy Barnes. Weight was clearly a big factor for him. Hopefully has a good pro career ahead of him now.

I thought Paddy won 1st and 3rd round. He landed the cleaner shots but it was a close fight.

Also Bin Lu I thought got robbed. He boxed the Kenyan and hurt him for three rounds. He didn't lose a single round. Arguilago boxed bad that could've gone to the Brit although I thought it was the closest fight.

[mlac]

After three days:
The three most impressive teams have been Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and France.

The most impressive boxers/fighters have been (in my opinion):
Zhanibek Alimkhanuly, Kazakhstan, Middleweight
Vasiliy Levit, Kazakhstan, Heavyweight
Yurberjen Martinez, Colombia, Light-Flyweight
Hasanboy Dusmatov, Uzbekistan, Light-Flyweight
The three French fighters: Oumiha, Cissokho, Mbilli

The two Cuban boxers have been a little underwhelming to me. Savon looked good, but Okolie did better the second time fighting him.
They said Okolie is a fast learner. I think it's true. I said it before, Okolie would benefit from staying amateur a little longer.

Saw Martinez and he is my favourite fighter at 49, crazy engine too. Didn't see the other weight classes. Cubans are too overconfident, they've beat everybody before so they think it's nothing to beat them again. It almost cost Argilagos.
