    The Olympic boxing begins on Saturday...

    Who should we be looking out for? Any certainties for victory, men or women?

    Hassan N'Dam and former IBF Flyweight world champ Amnat Ruenroeng are probably the most prolific pros to qualify for Rio.

    I watched a few of the Olympic Qualifiers in Venezuela. There were quite a few pros who have entered to go to Rio. I'm not sure how the majority of them went but I didn't see any of them dominating or completely outclassing the amateurs. For the most part the fights were all reasonably competitive.

    Even N'Dam didn't look amazing.

    Are they fighting with no headgear and a 3 judge scoring system?
