Before anyone says anything, he won the 1st round with ease, let the Azerbaijani back in the 2nd round because he went to war with the Azerbaijani fighter (everyone else who tried that in the tournament with Majidov got knocked out) but then definitely won the 3rd round.
He also made the Russian's pick the lower ranked Omarov for the Olympics, after Anthony Joshua beat Kuzmin at a tournament earlier this year (both Kuzmin and Omarov are Euro champs beating Cammarelle in the final.)
He will find it tough winning gold of course, he's got rivals like Majidov, Omarov, Cammarelle, Savon etc But him and Majidov are rightfully joint favs, they've also been on the best form. It's not like he's been plastered across front or back pages though.
We've got the usual suspects who should also really be medalling. Campbell, Stalker, Evans, Selby all ranked in the top 3 in the world. We'll just see how they handle the pressure, hope they all have a great tournament.
