European Olympic Qualifiers

Luke McCormack through.

 

Lewis Richardson got eliminated yesterday against the Ukrainian, no shame in that.

Caroline Dubois seems like she's a special fighter beating a highly-ranked fighter more experienced than her.

 

Cheavon Clarke and Fraser Clarke both won. 1 win away from qualification for each fighter now

 

Shocked McGrail has been knocked out. Possibly the best prospect in the country I thought.

Unsurprisingly Pat McCormack has cruised through.

 

Agreed. Him and Pat McCormack have won medals at virtually every tournament on the squad.

 

Mcgrail has already qualified

 

Yeah McGrail already qualified but competed to improve his ranking /seeding at the Games.

 

Didn't watch it but heard he was a bit lucky.... ??

 

Pat McCormack won Gold. Anyone know why Ben Whitaker was pulled out from the final?

 

Aliev beat Clarke in the SHW final:

Aliev looks good, a tall Southpaw who moves well, has great reflexed and is pretty good at fighting when he's close to the ropes. He seems to have more power in his lead hook than in his cross.
Overall the level at SHW at the Olympics looks pretty good to me, Jalolov, Huni, Torrez, Danier Pero, Clarke, Aliev and Kunkabayev are all good fighters.
