Boxing at Paris 2024 (Les Jeux de la XXXIII Olympiade)

Two judges had it a shutout, three had 29-28 for the Frenchman.

 

Erislandy Álvarez Borges (CUB) vs. Jugurtha Ait Bekka (ALG), Men's 63.5kg (139.99lbs, light welter)

 

Álvarez looking sharp.

 

Ait Bekka losing his cool.

It'd be funny to see someone go Golota mode in the Olympics.

 

Ait Bekka got poleaxed by an overhand right (lucky he wasn't given a standing eight) and developed a nosebleed in R3.

Light work for the Cuban.

 

Jesús Nazaret Cova Romero (VEN) vs. Bunjong Sinsiri (THA), Men's 63.5kg (139.99lbs, light welter)

 

Not sure Cova Romero has what it takes to beat Álvarez. Better shot than the Algerian, anyway.

 

Yeah, couple of knockdowns I think.

 

UD for Sinsiri!

 

He outfought the Venezuelan, negated his attempts to get inside and wing hooks by tying up effectively, and he's a tall southpaw which is usually a pain for everyone but...still gotta figure he's a prohibitive underdog against Álvarez.

 

Teremoana Junior (AUS) vs. Dmytro Lovchynskyi (UKR), Men's 92+kg
