Boxing at the Summer Games of the XXXII Olympiad, Tokyo

Was that the best fight of the games? It was pretty good. I haven't seen everything but I saw that. Also, and again I'll add the caveat that I haven't seen everybody, but Roniel Iglesias was really slick and might deserve the Val Barker Award this year. Not sure who to give the KO of the games to.

 

They put too much pressure/hype around Ragan. From what I saw, he's a good athlete who lacks some higher skills. Albert Batman completely outclassed him, even though he didn't look quite as athletic as Ragan. I kind of liked what I saw from GBs Whitaker but then he got embarrassed at the finals too by Lopez. I think it's time we admitted that Cuba and Russia have better boxing programs.

 

it really looked like something was wrong with ragans left shoulder

 

Looking forward to the light weight semis and the gold medal match with souza vs khyzaniak. I think souza might suprise. Guy is slick and when he lands punches its easy to see. I heard khyzaniak has won 71 in a row. Im pulling for souza.

 

I didnt think that. The fight was really close. I ghink the russian kid had more gas then ragan.

 

Based on excellent last 2 performances against two high quality operators he would have to be one of the favs.

But his first two performances might count against him, especially the debatable decision against the Japanese fight.

For mine Arlen Lopez took on as tough if not tougher opponents and was stylish all the way through.

Not sure how they going to look at it but you can't go past any of the Cuban finalists really. They have all looked excellent.

 

this aint 2019. The lightweight cuban held a win over the russian and the russian cat dominated him.

 

cant wait

 

Hope keshawn davis and the cuban advance. that will be a fantastic gold medal match.

 

Khyzhniak is a -455 favor over souza. souza been an underdog every fight but his first round.
