when does the carlos balderas kid fight again? that kid is special

sorry buddy, if you win tomorrow you ain't gonna beat the Cuban Argilagos in the finals. Argilagos is a beast

I really hate the rule that both semi-finals losers get a bronze. The Olympics is the highest level of amateur competition. And the rules seems like something they would do at an elementary school field day. Seems like the semi-finals losers should have to fight for the bronze medal.

I agree I was wondering why they were saying everyone in the semis is guaranteed a medal. That is BS. The losers should face off for it.

it's still much harder to medal in boxing than in most other olympic sports though

BTW hernandez's semi final and balderas's quarter final are starting soon. the women's boxing just finished

Argilos is good but Nico is a born winner. He's going to win the Gold.

Trust.

so much for both of our thoughts. Wish they would have to face off for the bronze I still say Argilagos would beat him. But damn can't believe both guys lost, I think the columbian will take it
