Olympic Boxing - Rio 2016

Silly post. Stick to trolling Haymon and Wilder, etc. even though you're terrible at it.

Butthurt. Did I touch a nerve?
Don't worry, you can root for these "monster" cubans if they get almost 3 gold medals,turn pro and then lose to 6-1 in the ams Carlos Molina.
I kept hearing about Alvarez being some monster like supposedly all cubans, yet I saw the usual overrated bum people hype up for no reason.

Everyone was saying how Balderas had no chance, yet this complete nobody beat Lopez and got robbed. And people ask why people hate boxing politics.

I don't know man 52 is toss a coin, this is the deepest division in boxing.

You have:

Elvin Mamishzada
Muhamad Ali
Veitia
Muhamad Ali
Daniel Asenov
Satibayev
Vargas
Finol

and the list goes on.

It's like I'll say Elvin should be the favourite he won the Worlds and he is the biggest puncher but I don't know, this division is so competitive. 69 kilos too but this one I think is the most competitive.

Yeah, 52 is one of the deepest division out there and Aloyan hasn't been fighting that much anymore. He mostly fights in APB these days, so he may not be the same.
I think he has a good draw to medal though. It may just not be the Gold.
I think Mamishzada is beatable to be honest. I'm rooting for Antonio Vargas. The most accomplished USA team member and he never gets any credit. Unfortunately he has a difficult draw. He always gets difficult draws.
If Aloyan is back in form I wouldn't be surprised if he wins the whole thing. When he is in form he is tough to beat. We will see how he looks in his first fight.

I'm rooting for Daniel Asenov but I recognize he is not the most technical or talented but he's beat Vargas and Muhamad Ali. Besides him I'll root for Veitia and I'll root against Finol, I hate this Venezuelian kid.

Uzbek fighter at 75 kilo, last worlds he acted like the biggest bully on the tournament. Met Alren Lopez in the finals got beat up from pillar to post. I hope they meet again so Alren breaks him, ****ing front runner

Solid performance for Melikuziev. Lets see how he does against Krishan. He has defeated Krishan before.

I said I wasn't going to do a ranking for a few days, but that early session got me pumped up. I don't think anyone cares about my rankings, but I have fun doing them.
I will only give some detail on the fighters that fought today.

YUBERJEN MARTINEZ!!!!!
That is all.

I'm not rooting for anyone. You're the one who sounds butthurt because of the attention Cuban boxers are getting. They may or may not be overrated, but calling a three-time world champ a bum shows how big of a troll you are.

Uze 75kg

Bektemir Melikuziev the 75kg southpaw for UZE showed good footwork. Although he was against inferior boxer from Aus (who looked a lot smaller), it was good see so many in and out from different angles.

FFS wtf happened to Selimov, just found out...

Best boxers after 7 days:
(Guys with two or more fights)
1. Hasanboy Dusmatov, Uzbekistan, Light-Fly: After another day and another great performance Dusmatov stays at #1 for me. He has faced really great opposition and in my opinion has yet to lose a round.
Wins over: Joselito Velasquez (2x Pan American Games Champion and #7 in the world), Birzhan Zhakypov (3x Olympian, 2x World Championship medalist-One Gold, One Bronze), Nico Hernandez (One of the surprises of the tournament and one of the better boxers of team USA. Not previously ranked, but now he's a 2016 Olympic Bronze medalist, how is that for an accomplishment?)

2. Yuberjen Martinez, Colombia, Light-Fly: I've been one of his biggest fans and have given him a lot of credit since his first fight, but even I haven't given him the credit he deserves. He has gone through one of the toughest draws and in my opinion has only lost 1 or 2 rounds. I believe those split decision wins over Samuel Carmona (who was having an impressive tournament himself) and Argilagos should have been Unanimous.
Argilagos is the youngest member of the Cuban squad and I always felt he was going to end up being one of the most accomplished. I remember watching as a Junior and being amazed. He was named Best boxer at the 2013 World Junior Championships. I always thought 2016 wasn't going to be his year for an Olympic Gold medal, but I didn't think Martinez was going to be the one to take that from him. And Martinez did it in impressive fashion.
Wins over: Patrick Lourenco (the only opponent who really wasn't that accomplished, but he was from the host nation and he just missed out of a medal at the 2013 World Championships losing a split decision in the Quarterfinals), Rogen Ladon (2015 World Championship Bronze, 2015 Asian Championship Silver, Ranked #3 in the World), Samuel Carmona (Carmona was having an impressive tournament by beating Arthur Hovhannisyan and Paddy Barnes, a two time Olympic Bronze medalist, and one of the favorites for a Gold medal in Rio), Joahnys Argilagos (2015 World Champion, now you can add a 2016 Olympic Bronze, Ranked #1 in the World).

(Note:Dusmatov and Martinez will meet in the final. If the winner beats the other in impressive fashion then it's going to be difficult to take that Val Barker trophy away from them. Both had a tough draw and have looked great getting this far.)

3. Sofiane Oumiha, France, Light: Has fought three times so far. And has looked good so far. He just defeated one of the favorites to win the whole tournament in Selimov. It was a close fight, but Oumiha just wasn't going to be denied. He outworked the now fading Selimov. He also stopped Ruenroeng and had an impressive performance against US Olympic Trial Champion, Teofimo Lopez.
Wins over: Teofimo Lopez, Amnat Ruenroeng (Former Pro World Champion, 2x Olympian, 2007 World Championship Bronze, 2010 Asian Games Bronze), Albert Selimov (2x Olympian. 3x World Championship medalist-Gold, Silver, Bronze. 2x European Champion. 2015 European Games Champion. Ranked #3 in the World)

4. Joshua Buatsi, Great Britain, Light-Heavy

5. Zhanibek Alimkhanuly, Kazakhstan, Middle: He impressively took care of Fowler and now Abbadi. Abbadi looked good in his first fight, although against a weak opponent. Alimkhanuly completely schooled him. Abbadi is not a good enough opponent to get him ranked higher, but Alimkhanuly has been so dominant in his fights that he ranks this high.
Wins over: Antony Fowler (2013 World Championship Bronze, 2014 Commonwealth Champion), Ilyas Abbadi (2x Olympian)

6. Shakhram Giyasov, Uzbekistan, Welter

7. Souleymane Cissokho, France, Welter

8. Robson Conceicao, Brazil, Light: Two solid performances against two solid opponents. His fight against Yunusov only lasted one round before Yunusov withdrew due to an injury, but Yunusov didn't land anything in round 1. I thought he looked good against Tojibaev in his Semi-final fight. He now has to face 3x World Champion, Lazaro Alvarez. I believe Alvarez is 2-1 in their meetings, but Conceicao always fights him close and Conceicao has looked better so far in this tournament. Not to mention that Conceicao is the home fighter.
Wins over: Anvar Yunusov (2011 World Championship Bronze, 3x Olympian, 3x Asian Championship medalist-Gold, Bronze, Bronze), Hurshid Tojibaev (2x Olympian and was having a solid tournament by beating a guy ranked in the top 10 in World, Joseph Cordina)

9. Vassiliy Levit, Kazakhstan, Heavy

(Guys with one fight)
10. Kairat Yeraliyev, Kazakhstan, Bantam

11. Robeisy Ramirez, Cuba, Bantam

12. Daniyar Yeleussinov, Kazakhstan, Welter

13. Arlen Lopez, Cuba, Middle: He scored a spectacular TKO victory in his first fight. His opponent is good enough to get him ranked, but not good enough to get him ranked higher.
Win over: Zoltan Harcsa (2x Olympian)

In line (from Lightest to Heaviest): Butdee, Alvarez, Otgondalai, McCormack, Mbilli, Melikuziev, Savon, Tulaganov

Out: Joahnys Argilagos (after a pretty solid tournament; previously ranked #6 on my rankings.), Selimov (really good first fight, but Oumiha wasn't going to be denied. Not a bad performance for Selimov though;previously ranked #11 on my rankings.), Nico Hernandez (was previously in the "In line" category. Earns himself a Bronze medal. Good performances at the Olympics. One of the surprises and had upset victories, ex. against the World Championship Silver medalist and ranked #2 in the world, Vasiliy Egorov.), Balderas (Great tournament for him. Just short of medaling. He fought a good fight against Alvarez. He just slowed down in the end. Scored pretty good victories against Abdrakhmanov, in a close fight, and Narimatsu, competitive but clear win for Balderas. Previously in the "In line" category.), Tojibaev (Perviously in the "In line" category. He had a solid tournament. With a win over a World Top 10, Joseph Cordina.)
