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

Chen pretty well in control, switch-hitting and setting traps with rear-hand overhands.

 

29-28 x5, UD for Chen

 

Oshin Derieuw (BEL) vs. Liu Yang (CHN), Women's 66kg Quarterfinals

 

The cagey Belgian veteran showing good defense, getting a read on the physically imposing long tall Chinese southpaw.

 

4-1 Yang, shooting off the hip and thudding through Derieuw's guard with heavy right jabs and catapult lefts.

 

Yang lighting her up all the way until the bell.

 

29-28 x3, 30-27 x2, UD for Yang

 

Kellie Harrington (IRL) vs. Beatriz Iasmin Soares Ferreira (BRA), Women's 60kg Semifinals

 

Harrington took a UD in their previous meeting three years ago.

 

Both are so yolked up top. Arms and shoulders.

 

Ferreira throwing good combos but they're getting caught on the long & strong left jabbing/parrying arm of Harrington.

Surprisingly, in exchanges on the inside Harrington also getting the best of it.

 

Brilliant performance by Harrington (among the very best p4p women in the Games)

 

30-27 x2, 29-28 x2, 28-29, SD for Harrington

All three judges gave Harrington the last round, where her 1-2 almost couldn't miss.

 

Harrington with a chance now to capture a second consecutive Olympic gold medal in the finals.
