Lomachenko and Selimov fought each other in the first fight of the olympics, and both were the reigning finalist of the world championship.

That hardly ever happens must have been a blue moon

Let me ask you this question and Ive been to many Tournament do you ever see the top guys fighting each other first ? No they always put them with somebody they're going to beat Why didn't Stevenson fight Rameriez on day 1 ? Thats what I mean by design they try to match the best fighters last with each other not first

Im sorry, Im not following what you're getting at. Yes, thats how most tournaments of any kind work. The better people/teams play the weaker ones first. In theory its supposed to weed the weaker ones out that the best play/fight each other at the end. Why would you put the best against each other first? That would eliminate the best early and have weaker opposition get further. Again, i don't understand what you're getting at..

You just answered it they weed the weaker ones out so it's by design that the better ones will fight for the top spots what I'm saying is they don't have draws they match them according to who will be fighting for Gold
