Olympic Boxing Match Times (Day/Evening) Question

Post by fnd »

I have searched and searched but cant seem to find any reference to who was competing at
what times (Day/Evening)? There only seems to be information as to who competed by date
only, but on many dates there were competitions held during the Day and then again in the
Evening, so my question is how can I find out who competed at what time?

Looking at the Official Olympic reports I can view the results for each day and noticed
they seem to all have an even number of competitions for each day
(example - 6 heavyweight competitions for said day) and then they list them 1 thru 6,
would I be wrong to assume they were split evenly with the first three in the day and the
final 3 in the evening ?

Being a Boxing Ticket collector this is very important as I would like to have the correct
ticket to the event were these great fighters started ( Patterson, Clay (Ali) , Frazier,
Foreman, Ray Leonard, Biggs, Hoyfield, Tillman, Tate, Breland, Whitaker, De La Hoya,
Mayweather, Bowe, Jones)

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer

Look at AIBAs result page. It lists start times for each bout.

Thanks krackle

That helps for the Recent Olympics of 2000, 2008 & 2012 but there information is limited to only those three years :(
I am interested in many earlier years such as 1952, 1960, 1964, 1968, 1976, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996

I appreciate the help as thats more then I could find :TU:

Well it seems the only places I can find this information is in the original boxing programs issued on the
dates of the Olympic bouts.

I have been busy buying them as I see them (expensive research) and have times for some dates
including the 1932, 1948, 1952 & 1972 olympics if there are any Olympic boxing program collectors
out there who would like to trade information I would welcome the chance to exchange information.

Please contact me at [email protected]

Thanks in advance
