Kellie Harrington (IRE) vs. Alessia Mesiano (ITA), Women's 60kg

 

Lessi Mesi could get it.

She belongs to Fiamme Oro (The Golden Flames), same as the arguable GOAT of Italian amateur boxing: Roberto Cammarelle. Meaning, like Cammarelle, she's a cop. Bet she's magnifico in uniform.

 

All five judges have it 20-18 for the Irishwoman after two. She's boxing well, moving backward and setting traps with the southpaw jab and shoeshines on the body.

 

Fun third.

 

30-27 x5 for Harrington, advancing to quarterfinals.

 

Obada Al Kasbeh (JOR) vs. Sofiane Oumiha (FRA), Men's 63.5kg

 

Parisian crowd massively behind Oumiha. Much louder in support for him than for Estelle Mossely the other day...sexist frogs.

 

Oumiha is on a streak of 31 consecutiuve wins, combined amateur and professional, since being stopped by Keyshawn Davis in Tokyo.

As of Wednesday his undefeated streak will hit exactly three years.

 

OAK gunning for the KO, down on the judges' cards.

 

Oumiha got his bell rung with a series of looping shots in the last twenty seconds, but too little too late from Al Kasbeh.
