"Clayton exacted sweet revenge at the Olympic boxing venue on Sunday afternoon by defeating Mexican rival Oscar Molina 12-8 on points — the first Canadian fighter to win an Olympic bout in eight years."

"The victory against Molina puts the City of Lakes Boxing Club fighter against Australian fighter Cameron (The Hammer) Hammond, and a win against the Aussie would put him one win away from some hardware. The last Canadian to win an Olympic medal in boxing was heavyweight David Defiagbon at the 1996 Atlanta Games."

"Canadian super heavyweight (six-foot-five, 243-pound) Simon Kean of Trois Rivieres, Que. has his first bout on Wednesday against Tony Yoka of France."

"The Canadian champion has had to overcome several hurdles in recent years. He has been recovering from a shoulder surgery he had in the fall. He also fought back from a serious ATV accident he suffered three years ago when he suffered a badly broken leg and an infection so severe, doctors feared an amputation. He still sports a pretty spectacular scar from the surgery needed to repair the leg and foot. The fighter had been in a wheelchair and walking with canes for several months, losing six months of his Olympic training journey."

"While no one is expecting Kean to advance into the medal rounds but he is a devastatingly hard puncher"

I've seen his fight.
Was good.
And the best is that it was revenge for him.

He is facing Autralian Cameron Hammond next (saturday).
The guy is ranked #5 in the world while Clayton is 30+

Looks like a tough challenge...

 

Simon Kean is facing frenchie Tony Yoka in less then 2 hours

 

Kean got the win!

I thought he was a bit lucky to get that one...
