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

Chen has fought Yang thrice before - and lost each time. Not only would a victory here put her in the championship match against Khelif - she would exorcise some demons finally vanquishing her boogeywoman.

 

Wow, that was the first round Liu Yang has lost in these Olympics.

 

I remember Liu Yang's hands being a lot faster in the Round of 16 and quarterfinals.

 

4-1 Yang in the second.

The scores are now all knotted up - 20-18 for Chen, and 19-19 x4. The brass ring is there for whoever is willing to grab it - and the other gets a bronze medal for a parting gift.

 

Why did you redact Taiwan?

 

Clinches are getting out of hand.

 

Chen with a late rally throwing line drive combos to push Yang into the ropes but might be too little too late...and she got popped with a straight left counter just before the bell.

 

29-28 x4, 27-30, SD for Yang

 

That has to really chap Chen's ass. Exiting the Olympics and she's now 0-4 against her archrival, from her country's archrival.
