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

Hard luck start for Usyk's pal...down thrice in the first round, hooks and then a straight right drilled above his ear.

And the ref calls it!

RSC1!!

 

Six foot six Māori monster has got some serious power...

4-0 (4) in the pros, and even in the amateurs he has a ludicrous 75% stoppage rate!

 

Tell me you saw that, @UnleashtheFURY - ask and thou shall receive!

 

Bakhodir Jalolov (UZB) vs. Omar Shiha (NOR), Men's 92+kg

 

The big Uzbek apparently didn't want to be shown up by the Cook Islander, no mincing about, making sure to drop his opponent early.

10-8 Jalolov

 

UTF: gimme knockdowns.
Olympics: bet.

 

Shiha fought terrified but managed to survive.

Official cards:

30-25
30-24
30-25
30-26
30-25


...Jalolov vs. Teremoana is going to be SO. ****ING. GOOD!!!

 

Djamili-Dini Aboudou Moindze (FRA) vs. Mourad Kadi (ALG), Men's 92+kg

 

Ladies & gentlemen, introducing at 5'11" with a Daniel Cormier build...future Bridgerweight champion DDA Moindze!

Really no business at SHW.

 

Moindze and Kadi have met once before, in April of last year at Belgrade. Moindze took a UD over his fellow southpaw then.

edit: Kadi actually is a switch-hitter, apparently.

 

All judges gave Aboudou Moindze the second, four of the five gave him round 1.

 

Yep - either a short fatty who prefers chucking long body shots he doesn't have the reach (nor footspeed) to land, or a tentative lean-away jabber with anemic output. No medalists here.

 

Split decision for Aboudou Moindze. The crowd goes absolutely bananas.
