ok bbc didnt show Men's Welter Weight (69kg) Round of 32 - JASEVICIUS Rolandas - BASHIROV Aliasker fight.

That was a good fight. Bashirov won the 4th round 24-5

Yes, it was on Eurosport...Steve Holdworth really berated Jasevicius from the start for some reason, however Bashirov looked okay but probably not a major medal threat.

The German lighweight Tajbert is on Eurosport at moment, looks like highlights of other fights are now on BBC 1.....

Sorry featherweight I mean, he won on a stoppage, outclassed rule. Looks a very good prospect.

Very impressed with the German. He won easily, and i got the impression he wasn't going at it full tilt. Best performance so far i think.

Yeah, he was top drawer. His hands-down style reminded me of Tszyu.

Considering who he's signed with, we'll probably see him turn pro at some stage. Looking at the way he fights, he may well be someone watch when that happens.

Lightweight Stilianov on now, fights not unlike Bobby Vanzie. It's a very similar countering right hook he throws.

Hmm I think Khan could have big problems against this guy.

Heavyweight next. Solis vs Alekseev, should be a great fight between the two favorites in the division

The Cuban doesn't look at his best to me.

Freiheit · Post by **Freiheit** » 18 Aug 2004, 08:48

The turk in the next fight didnt pass his medical so dont be that mad on eurosport for showing "breaking news"

Izonritei in the next fight is david's little brother.

Devin vargas just got a point for hitting his opponents glove, it was not even clear to be a correct hit.
