    Future US HW Contender that'll be in the mix with Richard Torrez Jr and Anderson. He should appear in the Olympics, any other shout outs ?

    Joshua Edwards hasn't had a fight all year. He qualified first at the Americas tournament last year (2 Olympic quota places up for grabs) but didn't get to face the other qualifier (from Brazil) who forfeited the final. He didn't compete in the US International Invitational earlier this year. I did see what appeared to be some sparring footage of him from a two-week training camp that preceded that tournament & he was on the receiving end. B/c he finished first in the Americas Olympic qualification tournament last year (albeit by walkover in the final) he should receive a favourable seeding at the Olympics (criteria for seeding thus far unspecified). America didn't qualify any men at either Heavyweight or Light Heavy for the Olympics. Their guys looked really good fighting at home but fired blanks at the overseas Olympic qualification events.
