World Championships draw

Posted this in the amateur boxing thread. I doesnt really mean that much just looking at it as we have no idea who is good or bad but we can glean some information from it.

49kg: Charlie Edwards v Junior Zarate (Argentina) - last 64

52kg: Khalid Yafai - bye into last 32 (will box Ghana or Japan)

52kg: Andrew Selby v Hesham Abdelaal (Egypt) - last 64

56kg: Luke Campbell v Rahim Najafov (Azerbaijan) - last 64

56kg: Sean McGoldrick v Furkhan Memis (Turkey) - last 64

60kg: Martin Ward v Dragos Marin (Romania) - last 64

64kg: Tom Stalker v Yoelvis Hernandez (Venezuela) - last 64

64kg: Josh Taylor v Daniyar Yeleussinov (Kazakhstan) - last 64

64kg: Chris Jenkins (Wales) v Masatsugu Kawachi (Japan) - last 64

69kg: Fred Evans v Ricky Murphy (New Zealand) - last 64

69kg: Scott Cardle v Alexis Vastine (France) - last 64

75kg: Anthony Ogogo v Sung Woo (Korea) - last 64

91kg: Simon Vallily - bye into last 32 (will box Argentina or Canada)

91+kg: Anthony Joshua v Tariq Abdul Haq (Trinidad) - last 64

Its good to see Vallily and Yafai gets bye's Anthony Joshua fights somebody from Trinidad so potentially that indicates that it could be a fairly easyish first round for him. Campbell has drawn an Azerbaijani which is he needs to be wary about obviously it being his hometown and the recent allegations.

I think Edwards is the first to box of team GB

 

Joshua has got a really tough draw there hasn't really got any easy fights could be tough for him

 

Campbell will need about 8 KD's just to lose a tight decision

 

49kg – Paddy Barnes – seeded 8
Last 32 - October 3 - Barnes v Albania/Philippines
Last 16 - October 4 - Barnes v China/Dominica/Hungary/Thailand

He’ll likely face Zou Shiming (China in last 16). Tough ask but if he loses he’d be hoping Zou would go on to win gold


52kg – Michael Conlon – unseeded
Last 64 - September 27 – Conlon v Moldova
Last 32 - October 2 – Conlon v Kazakhstan/Morocco
Last 16 – October 4 – Conlon v Korea/Turkmenistan/France (2)

Again, tough route. If he loses to 2nd seeded Oubaali in last 16, Oubaali could win gold

56kg – John Joe Nevin – Seeded 4th
Last 32 – October 3 – Nevin v Slovakia/India
Last 16 – October 4 – Nevin v Mongolia/Armenia/Korea/Denmark

I’d be disappointed if he doesn’t make it

60kg – David Joyce – Seeded 7th
Last 64 – October 1 – Joyce v Iran
Last 32 – October 3 – Joyce v Afghanistan/Qatar
Last 16 – October 4 – Joyce v Czech/Sri lanka/Lithuania/India

Every chance

64kg – Ray Moylette – Seeded 4th
Last 64 – September 30 – Moylette v Latvia
Last 32 – October 2 – Bahamas/India
Last 16 – October 4 – Moylette v China/USA/France/Saudi Arabia

That last 16 draw is tough. While not the powers they were you can’t discount any US boxer (or China for that matter)

69kg – Roy Sheahan – Unseeded
Last 64 – September 29 – Sheahan v Bahamas
Last 32 – October 2 – Sheahan v Croatia/Chiese Tapei
Last 16 – October 4 – Sheahan v China (5)/Lithuania/Slovakia/Czech

Scheduled to meet 5th seed in last 16. Could sneak it though

75kg – Darren O’Neill – Seeded 8th
Last 64 – October 1 – O’Neill v Norway
Last 32 – October 3 – O’Neill v Estonia/Egypt
Last 16 - October 4 – O’Neill v Kyrgzstan/Malaysia/St Vincents/Bulgaria

I’d be confident he can make it

81kg – Joe Ward – Seeded 2nd[//b]
Last 32 – October 2 – Ward v Bulgaria/Tajikstan
Last 16 – October 4 – Ward v Dominica/Poland/Armenia/Iran

He should medal, never mind qualify for London. Only a home town decision in last 8 will stop him

91kg – Ken Egan – Seeded 6th
Last 32 – October 3 – Egan v Cuba/Czech
Last 16 – October 4 – Egan v Croatia/Bosnia/Egypt

Cuban is world youth champ. Beat him and he should make it. Tough draw for a seed though

91kg – Con Sheehan – unseeded
Last 32 – October 2 – Sheehan v Tajikistan
Last 16 – October 4 – Sheehan v Italy (1)/Venezual/Tonga

Sheehan should find world number 1 Cammerella in Last 16. He’ll be hoping the Italian goes on to win gold and help him qualify

 

:deal Gets the home guy in the first round :-(

 

When do they start? Whats Cardles draw like?

 

Is there any live legal stream we can't watch it

 

I thought the Romanian boxers can't paricipate , but they seem to be under aiba flag after the romanian federation has been excluded.

 

Is this on boxnation?

 

Youtube and Box Nation are showing the Championships from the Quarter Finals.

No idea about the BBC. Hopefully AIBA may put the highlights up on youtube.

 

It would be really nice if Eurosport would air it live.
