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

In the upcoming final pair of fights at the Olympics (until 2028 in L.A.), the Chinese women and Uzbek men are heavily favored to capture a third & fifth boxing gold medal this week respectively.

That is eight total golds, of the combined thirteen divisions.

 

Yeah, roughly thereabouts. Central Asia.

 

LAST CALL FOR OLYMPIC BOXING

...how's that for a clarion roll-call?

 

Bout #234 - Qian Li (CHN) vs. Atheyna Bylon (PAN), Women's 75kg FINALS

 

Bylon is sculpted like a Marvel comic book hero but Li Qian is on another planet in terms of skill.

Panamanian squeaked her way in here - two majority decisions and one split. In the semis it was a particularly egregious result over Cindy Ngamba - who actually might have given the Chinese woman a decent challenge. (ran her close in June)

 

10-9 x5 to Li.

 

Bylon physically stronger, ragdolling in the clinch - but on the outside Li sharpshooting with ease.

 

One judge gives Bylon the second.

20-18 x4 Li, 19-19.

 

Bylon having a good third with sustained aggression but it's mathematically impossible now for her to win sans a point deduction or KO.

 

Hat trick for Li Qian over the last three Olympics - bronze in Rio, silver in Tokyo and now it'll surely be gold in Paris.

 

29-28 x4, 28-29, SD for Li.

All five judges gave Bylon the last round but, as stated, it didn't matter by that point. Even if they'd all gone 10-8 it would have still been four drawn cards and one for Li.

 

Still would have been an underdog but Cindy earned a silver, damn it!

 

Bout #235 - Bakhodir Jalolov (UZB) vs. Ayoub Ghadfa Drissi El Aissaoui (ESP), Men's 92+kg FINALS
