Olympic qualification event

I don't think UK has that good chances of gold, I don't think Joshua will do as well as in the worlds and I don't rate Stalker that much.

 

How many have UK got qualified now?

How many still in the balance?

 

Doesn't that mean he will 100% go then? He deserves to be there though so good luck to the lad.

 

Uk has 5 so far. Selby, Campbell, Stalker, Evans & Joshua.

Potentially 9 but probably 6 or 7

 

I dont know really, lads on the irish page in the general have been discussing it. There is a number of theorys as to why he should be eligible over there, so fingers crossed.

Yeah i know he didnt qualify, but it would be a shame if he wasnt there considering he is European champion and top 5 at that weight in the world imo. Also, apparently he got properly dicked in Turkey by the judges..

 

6 is not being very hopeful! Hopefully at least 7.

Plus all 3 women.

 

Josh Taylor won his bout today 17-9. So he qualifys for the olympics if Maxwell doesnt get through to the Semis. Maxwells bout should be on about now.

 

Joyce loses 19-10, bad news for the Irish that.

Good that Taylor has won, hopefully Sam Maxwell can do the same!

 

Yeah unlucky Joyce he really should have qualified at the worlds he was 2 seconds away from a countback against India and he got peanlised for pushing, hope he goes pro now his style is definatley not suited to the amateurs .

 

Maxwell got beat 17-8 by the Turkish guy so Josh Taylor is going to the Olympics

:happy :happy :happy

 

17-8 is quite a clear margin of victory so I am guessing he didn't get a bad decision. Maxwell has done great in the last 1/2 years to get so close to qualifying.

 

Nolan through to the semis ..
one more win and ireland have another olympian

 

Callum Smith wins 16-6, one away from qualifying, he has done well at his new weight so far, very impressive...

 

:happy

There are 3 qualifying places in his weightclass, does anyone know how the 3rd place is decided?

Is it a box-off between the 2 losing semi-finalists or is it done on rankings?

 

Whoever loses to the eventual winner in the semis gets the 3rd place :good
