Yes they meet in the semi-final The semi-finals line up http://d152tffy3gbaeg.cloudfront.net/2017/07/C58-C58D0831.pdf http://d152tffy3gbaeg.cloudfront.net/2017/07/C58-C58D0901.pdf As I'm sure you're no doubt aware Levit got robbed blind in the 2015 WSB final This content is protected
Yep, I am aware of that. Levit is my favorite fighter in this tournament. I really hope he will win gold which will be his first gold medal in world championships, but that is a tough task, since he will face Savon and (probably) Tischenko. But on my card he beat them both at the Olympics, unfortunately the judges thought otherwise and they may have a different opinion this time as well.
Mine too. I felt really bad for him when he got robbed in the Olympic final. I thought he definitely deserved to get his hand raised in the fight he lost in world championships the year before too. So IMO he got robbed in the WSB final (his only loss in that tournament), the Olympics, and the WAC in 2015. Very unlucky. Yes it will be difficult but I thought he beat Savon either 4-1 or 3-2 in the WSB and was a clear winner and he beat Tishchenko 3-0 in the Olympic final. His fight against Savon in the Olympics was close but he started slowly. But as you say whether or not he'll get the decision even if he does beat them is another matter.
