The chinese have done very good, I see. They are going to be very dangerous in Beijing. I predict them to win a couple of medals.
The 69 kg boxer must be Yudiel Napoles, the brother of Yusiel who fights at 81 kg.

[Ulysses]

Yeah, teh Chinese have strong boxers in the lower weights but at WELTERWEIGHT and SUPER-HEAVYWEIGHT!!! this is unheard of surely!
We saw Jorge Herrera over here when he won and lost against an Irish boxer called Karl Brabazon – and I see he got stopped by the Chinese.
