    Yep, popped for a weight cutting diuretic (furosemide) last month; she never even laced up gloves.

    I thought we were a genuine chance for three gold medals before the tournament started. One of those three (Parker) is still in it. The other two got the Amari Jones treatment.

    Nurbek Oralbay looks interesting. I wish he would come to pro. What do you think of his chances?

    He and Khyzhniak are going to put on a show in today's main event. (opportunity for revenge along with the gold medal; the Ukrainian beat him by SD in February of 2023)

    He's only 24 so plenty of time for a build up in the pros.

    2016 bronze medalist (and current unbeaten pro and WBC Silver welterweight champion) Souleymane Diop Cissokho is out to bang the ceremonial fabric-wrapped stick on the floor to set things off.

    Yıldız Kahraman is being very aggressive, launching hooks up on her toes pushing Lin back.

    4½″ height difference. It's been Turkish gal's body flurries versus Taiwan's straight pool noodles.

    Male commentator relentlessly roasting his broadcast partner Mikaela Mayer for not remembering that she fought Esra Yıldız Kahraman eight years ago in Kazakhstan.

    Lost to her, no less. :sisi1

    Lots of lateral hopping and minimal engagement from Lin, just throwing long straight right pot shots. Yıldız Kahraman far busier, just can't get inside consistently. She had a case in the first two rounds (which both went unanimously to Lin) but is being outboxed cleanly in round three.

    I read on another site that Yildiz deserved the first but Lin deserved the second. Also read that O'Grady made a Hijame No Ippo reference, which is kinda cool.
