Boxing at Paris 2024 (Les Jeux de la XXXIII Olympiade)

Estelle Mossely, (FRA) vs. Jajaira González (USA), Women's 60kg

 

Both these ladies have famous boxing exes.

Mossely is the baby mama of Tony Yoka, whom she divorced in 2021. She was the best fighter and wore the pants in the household.

González used to date Shakur Stevenson, and is the sister of contender Joet González.

 

Each has gotten a stern warning for holding and hitting.

 

Those are some rough headlocks. Incidental, but still. Tiny ref needs to assert her authority a bit more.

 

...is- is Jajaiara menstruating through her shorts? At first I thought maybe she or Estelle had a cut but...nope.

Btw, lest anybody think @destruction and I were being unfairly harsh on PP...

 

Jajaiara "The Uppercut Lawn-Sprinkler" González may have broken the French's hearts here!

 

SD for González!

She was a +140 underdog.

USA! USA!

 

Erislandy Álvarez Borges (CUB) vs. John Ume (PNG), Men's 63.5kg

 

tekashi with tits.

 

Álvarez very smooth but the Papa New Guinean holding his own.

 

Kind of chintzy knockdown ruling on Ume, not sure the ropes were holding him up.

edit: very clear and non-controversial KD moments later though.

And another standing eight just before the bell!

Oof. 10-6 Álvarez

 

RSC2 for Álvarez, good call.
