No one from the US have yet qualified for +91kg division for the Rio games,only 2 events left.Catastrophic times for the US boxers in both divisions.
Only 2 spots left for Rio in both divisions.One will be contested in this event and other will be contested in next event.Pro boxers can compete but seems extremely unlikely to come to fruition because there is no interest.IBF guarantees one year ban,WBC 3 year ban if boxer competes in games.
Marlo Moore USA beat Petar Belberov BUL 2:1 to go to semi final in superheavyweight division.Julio Castillo ECU beat Cam Awesome USA 3:0 to go to semi final in heavyweight division.Moore remains only who can qualify from US in this event across both divisions.
Semi-finals 91+kg Gardiner-Zavatin and Moore-Vianello. Some upsets with Babanin and Vykhryst getting beat 91kg semi-finals Igor Jakubowski vs Abdeljalil Abouhamda and Roy Korving vs Julio Castillo. I think we get Jakubowski vs Korving and Jakubowski wins. Both he and Korving and been in top form in this tournament, shame one has to miss out on the spot. Korving lost a split to Okolie in the Euro qualifier. Castillo is also quite good though
Wow have you seen the results. It's a big shock that Vykhryst, Babanin, and Belberov are all OUT! I thought them 3 would be certain to be in the last 4
It's a shame that in the super heavyweight division only 18 boxers go to the Olympics but in most other divisions it's 28. Why is that?
Sergey Kuzmin, Oleksandr Teslenko and Hughie Fury will follow Joshua and Parker in being the next guys to hit the top 10. Tom Schwarz and Adrian Granat look good also.
