Harry Garside opens the batting for the Australian boxers later on today. Fighting Richard Kovacs from Hungary at I think 8.20pm AEST.
Three fights tonight. Harry's opening the batting for the blokes. 7:32pm AEST Tyla McDonald (Women's Lightweight) v Ecuador 8:20pm AEST Harry Garside (Men's Light Welter) v Hungary 12:50am AEST Teremoana Jr (Men's Super Heavy) v Ukraine
Tremendous showing that. Get in, lads: https://www.boxingforum24.com/threads/boxing-at-paris-2024-les-jeux-de-la-xxxiii-olympiade.712911/
Round 2 at the Olympic boxing tonight. We lost two early wickets last night on a seaming pitch but Teremoana came in first drop in the men's Super Heavy division & hoicked the first one he faced over long-on & into the member's pavilion for six. Australia's best batsman faces a hostile Kazakh attack tonight in the Light Heavy division. Word is the Kazakh will be coming in off the long run & with the wind behind him. I'm predicting Callum Peters will handle the short stuff & subdue his more fancied opponent. Get ready to rule in the ring like we do in the pool. Tonight's schedule: 7:32pm AEST Yusuf Chothia (Men's Flyweight) v Spain 12:18am AEST Callum Peters (Men's Light Heavy) v Kazakhstan 1:05am AEST Tiana Echegaray (Women's Bantamweight) v Turkey
Callum Peters lost a close decision but it was a valiant effort. Kazakh had to go through hell and it was questionable who won. Peters proved again what a mad dog he is in the ring. Will be one exciting professional prospect when/if he makes the switch
