im picking my gold medal winners here. I like it being in Doha means no hometown dicisions 49kg - Hasanboy Dusmatov (Uzbekistan) 52kg - Yosbeny Veitia (Cuba) 56kg - Michael Conlon (Ireland) 60kg - Lazaro Alvarez (Cuba) 64kg - Yasniel Toledo (Cuba) 69kg - Daniyar Yelrussinov (Kazakhstan) 75kg - Bekterim Melikuziev (Uzbekistan) 81kg - Julio De La Cruz (Cuba) 91kg - Vasilly Levit (Kazakhstan) 91kg+ Ivan Dychko (Kazakhstan) Cuba - 4 gold Kazakhstan - 3 gold Uzbekistan - 2 gold Ireland - 1 gold
id have savon and levit as basically joint gold medal favorites, Savon 'beat' levit in the wsb but in fairness it was a bit of a robbery levit was battering him
Really think Joe Ward will beat De La Cruz this time. He has matured a lot since then his style is much more compact now and dosent leave himself open with his wild shots.
i agree too ,also his tactics for that first fight were terrible. however moorser if I had to put my house on it id still go for de la cruz I could also have put O'Reilly as middleweight favourite, he lost a close split decision to that Uzbek before and has improved hugely since then however I don't want to seem bias towards the irish lads and have 3-4 as favorites:good
