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

"Omari Jones was in diapers the last time a man representing USA captured an Olympic gold medal in boxing" - wow. That was Andre Ward in Athens in '04 at light heavy (81kg). Since then Americans have not obtained any gold except for Claressa Shields in both 2012 & 2016 in women's middleweight.

 

Muydinkhujaev acting very cocky with the wide stance, hands down, and tongue out - but not exactly having it all his way. Jones is doing alright.

 

Muydinkhujaev cards already filled out.

He's going to stay on his bike and pot shot the whole time and get a shutout UD, watch.

 

Omari needs to cut the ring off and up his workrate. The judges aren't on his side, can't be leaving it close.

 

Fourth timeout in the match called by the referee already, between Omari's gum shield coming out twice and now Asadkhuja's shoes coming untied. I missed whatever the third one was for.

 

Omari Jones needs a KO.

Omari Jones is facing a quick spindly pot-shotting runner.

Omari Jones has scored only two stoppages ever, in 43 amateur bouts.





Omari Jones pro debut likely coming soon on a PPV undercard in late 2024!

 

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