Australia's Sam Goodman gets outboxed by the Kazakh Toltayev
Nikita Piskunov beat Toltayev rather easily at last year's World Junior Championships. Shame one of them got robbed. LOL

HI-TECH Boxing[/MENTION] 's favourite, Marc Castro, is on next
In round one I think Abdurasulov has played right into Castro's hands and allowed the fight to turn into a scrappy affair
Some heavy shots exchanged in round two despite the scrappy inside work and Castro's nose is bloodied, but Abdurasulov seems to have lost his temper and is deducted a point for fouls
Round three is a war, but Castro seems more comfortable in this kind of fight and lands the cleaner blows while Abdurasulov becomes increasingly ragged
Bek Nurmaganbet, one of my favourites so far, is up next
Gutsy round two from the German but he's clearly outgunned. Nurmaganbet's offensive arsenal is beautiful but I've noticed that he has no defence apart from his feet, so if you can catch him flat-footed he's a sitting duck
I was also quite impressed with Nurmaganbet since his first fight. I think the Middleweight final will be a good one.
Uzunian looks sharp. Do you know if he's faced Pero before? His handspeed could be an asset in that match-up
I don't think they have faced each other before. Pero just moved up to 91kg this year.
Uzunian will definitely be a problem. Uzunian has been one of the better Russians in this tournament.
That should be a good fight between Pero and Uzunian.

Yeah I'm very impressed. That should be a great final
I think it's a one hour wait until the next session now
I wonder how much USA boxing paid to get Marc Castro a gold medal. I don't know what they see in this kid. It's going to be hilarious when he becomes more known and what people have to say about his "skills."
When he is able to get going he is effective though. I'll give him that.
