57 kg: Khesafi Djelkhir (FRA) 3-2 Idel Torriente (CUB)

Wonder how Djelkhir pulled that one out - in Cuba. Is he that good, does anyone know? Or did the judges decide to let France win one.

[therealPunchDrunk]

He's a very strong, compact, offensive fighter with a tight guard. A lot of guys will crumble under his offence.

Thanks. Will be interesting to see how and what he does in Beijing.

Hello everybody,
I know this boxer. He's very strong, his punchs are very hards and quick.
I think he may be medallist in Beijing.

has ugas the 60kg cuban defected ?

Very impressed with Leon stopping Hallab, and even in Cuba I'm a but surprised that my guy Oubaali lost to Hernandez.

Djelkhir has a lot of good results, but he got torched by Raynell Williams in Chicago, so that may be a good sign for Raynell if he meets up with Torriente.

[therealPunchDrunk]

I'm predicting the worst Olympic results for the Cubans in modern history this time around. By far their weakest team in a long time...

What happened with Djelkhir, 16 and 0 and then just stopped boxing ?

from some digging, it looks like a combo of a lack of motivation + lack of backing. he retired right around the time he had a kid and sounds like he wanted something more reliable

i think he had a euro title shot on the table at one point and was ranked top 15 by wbo, but nothing really materialized
