    What would lead to to believe Acosta can beat the world champion Russo or Chakhiev? The Cubans this time are relatively inexperienced. The Mongloian Enhbat has already lost to Vodopyanov who is looking amazing lately and Timurziev or Cammerelle would have to be favored over Alfonso. Other that that its a pretty good list.

    Thats what i thought, Raushee is one of the guys i pick to most likely win a medal, the guy is uber talented, reminds me of a mix between Shane Mosley and Zab Judah :good

    I don't think the Cubans win Gold at Heavyweight or Super Heavyweight. Russia or Italy take both.

    Hes ****ing awesome, Only seen one of his fights, virtually no footage of him despite this being his 2nd Olympics. The only readon he got beat last time is because he fougth Rigendeaux, and lets face it ... we cant hold that against him, best amatuer boxer in the world + he was like 18 at the time, I still cant believe hes only had like 50 fights

    It looks like most of the boxing is going to be aired this time in the states with NBC's expanded coverage.

    Anyone know anything about Sapiyev in the 141 division?
