Tokyo olympics
Re: Tokyo olympics
Levit got stopped by the Spanish fighter. He didn't look confident in the 1st round and got knocked down hard in the 2nd, after what the ref waved him. A big upset, but it looked like Levit was past his best.

Re: Tokyo olympics
The Moroccan who was fighting David Nyika tried to bite his ear!
The ref was on the blind side so missed it but Nyika was a clear winner.

Maiva Hamadouche was visibly robbed! Dirty f* corrupted aiba... .l.
Re: Tokyo olympics
Fair bit of drama already then. I’m genuinely shocked by the Levit KO. The biting is just horrible, David posted about it on his Instagram, quite funny.
Where’s everyone watching? BBC dropped the ball on this one

Our local TV (Russian) shows almost everything. And without our own fighters (I suppose, ROC isn't translated anywhere).

Re: Tokyo olympics
I’m watching on the BBC. Richie and Ronald on comms.
I think the weight categories didn’t help Cheavon. The weight division spans 10kg so 22lbs and he’s on the small side for it whilst his opponent was at the higher end.
He’ll be a small cruiser if he turns pro.

Re: Tokyo olympics
That Spanish boxer is actually a Cuban exile. And he’s facing a Cuba’s Julio La Cruz in the 1/4 finals. Should be some needle in that one! Can’t wait.
Any idea how to watch it in the UK as I doubt the bbc will cover it.

Yeah, gotta be an interesting "Cuban" derby. Still Cruz is favored.rubberneck wrote: ↑27 Jul 2021, 10:30That Spanish boxer is actually a Cuban exile. And he’s facing a Cuba’s Julio La Cruz in the 1/4 finals. Should be some needle in that one! Can’t wait.

Re: Tokyo olympics
too bad for levy, he'll never get the gold he deserved
Re: Tokyo olympics
Irish Walker got a disputable SD over the Uzbek at 57kg and advanced to 1/4.
The Uzbek was an aggressor and landed the biggest shots. I strongly disagree with this dec.

Re: Tokyo olympics
The US Ragan scored a UD over the Kazakh. It was competetive, yet the dec is fair enough.

Re: Tokyo olympics
Columbia-Zambia SD for Col also sucked. I'd say.

Re: Tokyo olympics
I keep missing the irish fights by a few minutes on the way to work but was just talking to me mate and he said the uzbek should have got the nod. Still, one fight away from a medal now
Re: Tokyo olympics
The ROC Khataev won a great slugfest vs the Kazakh fighter at 81kg. Khataev is a power punching monster, I favor him to win Gold.

Re: Tokyo olympics
Ben Whittaker had a good win against the Egyptian 4th seed. Won every round fairly clearly.
Lauren Price also showed why’s she’s favourite.
2 from 2 so far for the Brits today.

I see Whitaker dealing with the Brazilian in 1/4, while the ROC will deal with the Spanish (Dagesatani immigrant).
In 1/2 Khataev vs Whittaker sounds interesting. Khataev is fast and incredibly powerful, while Whittaker has a good movement and big height/range. I think, Khataev will pull out a win, cause he just hurts everybody. Try to box him or try to fight him, he delivers pain.
Re: Tokyo olympics
Man that was savage robbery, why is every irishman just running around the ring with pillow punching? where is that irish toughness ?

Re: Tokyo olympics
A decent tactical affair in 1/4 between the British and the Australian girls at 57kg. The British one got a close SD. She was more aggressive, but I felt, that the Australian girl edged because of good counters. A really close bout.
Re: Tokyo olympics
Australian Aokuso should definitely turn pro, nice defense, he edged that spaniard IMO
