Children of Asia

[HI-TECH Boxing]

Did anyone keep up with the Children of Asia competition?

I just watched one of the worst robberies in Junior competition.
Biybars Zheksen of Kazakhstan got robbed big time against the Russian and home fighter.
Zheksen is someone worth keeping an eye on. I watched all four of his bouts in this competition and he is one of the best Junior boxers I have ever seen. The kid is really good. I believe he's 15. It's a shame he got robbed big time here.
Disgusting robbery I can't express that enough.

I did follow this tournament but didn't see any of the bouts.Prior to the tournament I ranked Zheksen No7 and Dosanov No 8 in the world at this weight.Alexeyev was not ranked and is clearly behind Galinchev and Shamsayev at 48 in Russia.
Therefore the result was a surprise to me but I will need to reflect it in some way in my next rankings.

Well, hopefully it doesn't affect Zheksen in the rankings too much, because this was a horrible robbery.
I had a feeling it was going to happen, because Alexeyev had a ton of support. He had more support than most of the Russian team, so I'm guessing he not only was the country fighter, but also a hometown fighter. Maybe he lived nearby or something.
Alexeyev was also lucky to get the decision in his Semifinal bout in my opinion.
I just had a feeling before the fight even started that no matter what Zheksen did he wouldn't get the decision.
