Official Olympic Boxing (and possibly other fighting sports) thread

correspondent tage west. giving the low down..






Bruno Julie i am really impressed with for a 30 year old the guy fights so fluidly and so easily. very slick, mixes up and counterpunches inbetween. kinda reminds me of a demarcus corley.

chadi-Killich
killish the taller, form the 1st few secodns he isnt a great talent can box a bit but just too wild to be a sweet scientist. ehm...not sure about that...wait...5-1 in th efirst round!!!! no way (much closer than that).
2nd round and chadi chases after his and man. he gets 3 points for his troubles. what??!?!? kd bizaar chadi wasnt hurt he was hit with a straight right That was it = standing 8 count. chadi is on the offensive again and a big over hand ritgh catches him . killich has wobbly legs...tch chadi hasnt noticed he hurt him . end of round. shame chadi could of finsihed things.
3rd rounds. chadi losing clearly but can stop his man. killich has no ressitnace whatsover. every clean punch to the chin hurts him. killich using a boxing jab-cross then hold method for this round. left hook by chadi catches killich again clearly the turk has no way of stopping this and has no way of continuing the tourneyment he will get stopped i feel. the ref is warning killich so much it's rediculas...what...killich just drops to his knees and no response. no points taken off. 7 warnings in the 4th and nothgin is done about it.
chadi shoudl just kep throwing right hands he will catch him and finish him off sometime.

end of fight and killich is showing off. "you have a glass jaw my man"

vasyl lomachenko- li yang.
vasyl was the one who outboxed the russian fav and the the first upsetter of this olympic tourney. li yang a prospect in china has alot of support.
good figth methikns.
it's off, jabs peppering from yang trying to time his man with a ritgh cross. very strange for an orthey trying to jab a southpaw very awkward for a ritgh hander. vasyl not giving him an inch he covers up well and moves even better. great left uppercut from vasyl to the bdoy. oh and another one. great combo's oh my word yang is movign as fast as he can he wants none of it.
great first round for lomachenko 5-0!!!! at the end of the round yang body drops him.
2nd round yang holding a bit...no reason why he is way behind. the fans are booign as another point is awarded to vasyl. oh another great round. this is clearly a mismatch. yang isnt a bad fighter he just has no response to what he is taking. a jab corss by yang gets countered by a great 1-2-3.
huge cheer goes up as li landed a left hook. still 7-1 to lomachenko
3rd round lomachenko way ahead. the hamed tactics come out now. he is using great leg movment. lol lomachenko ducks a right hand and yang fly's into the ropes.

this is embarressing. yang cant get him and vasyl canI.E. stop the fight. 3-1 as the 3rd round ends. it was clearly a lomachneko round. coudl of got an extra 3 to be honest.

4th roudn is just vasyl taking the ****. body shots are slowing yang down. no the bell rings and it's finsihed.

12-3 big shut out. yang had nothing on him.

 

mexico's Arturo Santos Reyes vs french hopeful Khedafi Djelkhir

i have seen reyes before and he is a good inside fighter. nice handspeed and power on all his shots.

they start. very strange both men have goen completly toe to toe. high gaurd all hooks....all action wow great first round the mexican has the better technique and speed and snap bnut djelkhir seems to have a extra dimension i cant really describe it. he'll step out of hook rang ethen come abck witha right cross. inside-counteprunching? good solid hook form both men they havnt moved from the center of the ring. body shots as well form both men this doesnt seem to be a amatuer figth at all. oh djelkhir down ritgh hook when he launched his right cross. not hurt just walked into a punch . he is alritgh but it gave reyes better confidence that eh can drop his man...and he chases after djelkhir djelkhie doesnt budge. he is right infront of him.

5-3 to mexico into the 3rd round...comepltly lost trakc of time. djelkhir comes out strong very strong, oh uppercut-hook gets djelkhir a point. reyes covers up and starts to do a huge 6 hit combo all onto djekhirs gloves. to which he gets a sharp left hook and a rigth cross.
great round for khadafi djelkhir. 10-7 to djelkhir. thats 7 points in the 3rd round!!!
4th round and reyes goes serching and djelkhir has changed his battl eplan a boxing sluggin affair. he gets reyes in a inside fight then backs up to give him room to which he throws a jab,cross,hook. i didnt know he had this dimension he is sluggin and boxing now. southpaw now for the frenchman.

it's finsihed 16-14 great fight, best one of the tourney.

great sportsmanship as well. both men give each other there congratulations. and both very greatful most proffesional fight ive seen the year at the olympics.

 

yeah i made a description of him.

"solid boxer-puncher, nice fients, great straights, not enough instant flash in his legs or hands, low left hand...got caught with right overhand 2 times by aweaker fighter"

i am surprised by how technically edept these mongolian fighters are. i never knew there was a boxing culture. there was that mongolian who almost upset the cuban 2 days ago. string bean of a guy but very powerful.

prices "win" today....he was slightly embaressed as the commentator said "this is not how david price would want to get an olympic boxing medal" he was clealry winning before the injury. and that jab cross he lands for he 2nd point was a corker
