Hassan N’Dam N’Jikam being eliminated first fight has to rank in the highlights. Few saw that coming.

[TheBeast]

none of the pro fighters looked great. Ruenroeng looked sloppy holding a lot, making the fight ugly... Tommasone is small and wasn't THAT Busy.

FRA - Christian M'Billi-Assomo
vs
UKR - Dmytro Mytrofanov

Christian won by Pts
Spectacular brutal high pace fight
Both fighters trading big shots at a furious pace in round 1
Both fighters never stopped punching for the full 9 minutes
This was by far the most entertaining fight of the tournament so far
A true not to miss phonebooth war that i'd recommend viewing when you can

91Kg
RUS - Evgeny Tishchenko
vs
BRA - Juan Goncalves Nogueira

Tishchenko won by Pts
Very nice heavyweight war
Tishchenko more skilled, taller & better jab
Nogueira never stopped trying landing multiple flush shots
Nogueira's awkward & aggressive style made it difficult for Tishchenko
Nogueira was able to hurt Tishchenko a few times but particularly at the end of the 2nd
Tishchenko again hurt and exhausted at the end of the 3rd round... looked on shaky legs

Antonio Vargas wins 1st prelim

I wrote this in the amateur section:

Well the one thing AIBA has done right was get rid of the awful computer scoring that had turned amateur boxing into a bore fest. Now we are actually seeing boxers throwing punches instead of punch and hold, punch and wrestle and pinch and run. It looks better without the headguards also. The boxers are slowly learning how to move their heads to avoid cuts though we are still seeing cuts. i wish the cutman would not take so much time slowing the pace of the fight. I think it also good that the corner or crowd does not know the score like before and that keeps the winner from running in the last round.
Overall it is much more exciting boxing.

...but...but...he doesn't count as a professional despite fighting in April and being 10-0!

Big upset today with London gold medal winner Katie Taylor of Ireland losing to Finnish boxer Mira Potkonen. The Fin has a victory over the US boxer competing in Rio, Mikaela Myer. They boxed in '14 in Finland.

[Boxing Prospect]

Pretty poor games for Ireland, with Barnes and Taylor both losing very early

Conlan was robbed today against the Russian. That's the second gift Russia has received in the boxing with their Hwt winning the gold on a robbery yesterday against the Kazak.
