Olympic Boxing

You guys should watch Chalabiyev vs Yeraliyev in 15 minutes ish.

 

Bit harsh drawing each other in the 1st round eh

 

Yeraliyev absolutely nailing that straight left repeatedly

 

He did it 4 times in a row in the first round.

 

Haha brilliant performance by Yeraliyev. Yeraliyev's defence in the final round was equally funny as it was great.
Definitely a bit harsh drawing eachother in the first round, like Thapa-Ramirez.
Yeraliyev eliminated Robeisy Ramirez at the 2013 World Amateur Championships.

 

Is like the draw in London 4 years ago.

 

I've heard great things about Sotomayor - amateur champ

 

Sotomayor doing well. His reach is far greater than the Ukrainian.

 

I missed the start here.
Whats Sotomayors deal? Cuban refugee?

Hes not your typical Azerbaijani looking guy

 

Sotomayor literally looks like hes bored in there.

Like hes sparring some guy off the street

 

He was always second to Yasnier Toledo so he started fighting for azerbaijan.

 

He's related to Javier Sotomayor, high jump WR holder.

 

Cool!
Good genetics in that family!

 

How in hell did he end up fighting as an Azeri? Was there just someone ahead of him Cuba (Toledo?)?

 

As bcr said, Toledo was always taking his place.
He came 2nd place in Cuban National Champs, and 3rd, at different years because of Toledo. That's why we haven't seen him in Olympics.
