18-8 to a Botswanian. Won the first round but got well beaten in the others according to the scorecards, havent seen the fight yet. Hard luck. Imagine if Fletcher or Flemming had got a draw like Boyd? They might have bagged a couple of wins but then again maybe not. Its going to take a something amazing for Little to beat the Russian. Beehan takes on a bit of an unknown Kazakh but the Borats are very strong usually. Plus I dont rate Beehan to highly. Pitty takes on a Morrocan. Really not sure how the African goes, but they are usually pretty decent from Morrocco. I guess Pitt is best chance to progress now but not going to hold my breath. He only needs two wins to bag a medal.
Little has the reach and Tishenko is not as good in this division, Little needs to study the Gavin v Tishenko fight back to front and shock the world! Boyd looked sloppy as hell in the fight, tbh watching it i was wondering how he managed to get on the team, he looked like a novice.
I thought boyd did pretty well, his style worked against him a little bit in that it was hard to distinguish clear flush punches but he was definatley in it I thought. The scores stretched out towards the end mainly because he knew he needed a knockout and went for, which meant he got countered a **** load, but I like that 'take a punch to land one' mentality sometimes, makes for an entertaining fight.
Most of the Aussies shouldn't have been at the games really, it's just the **** poor opposition at the Oceania qualifiers that got them through. It'd be better for the Aussie amateurs if they fight some of the borderline Asian/European qualification losers to get their Olympic places.
