Men's 71kg- Wanderson de Oliveira 5x0 Wendel Stanley

 

Difficult bout against Walsh now, probably the most important one from that quarter.

Winner will probably win the quota.

Or put it this way - most male boxers who qualify for the Olympics will only need two wins to medal (Most will not have a round of 32 fight, so win last 16, win QF  = bronze)

 

About 8 are there already in most classes. These guys are two wins from a medal right now.

 

The poor saps at QF1 are possibly 7-8 consecutive wins away right now *

 

* (ignoring SF and F in the QF1 which have no effect on qualification/medalling)

Then the lads that lose in the QF at QF1 may have another 4 fights at the Second qualifier

But the lads already there had to win a number of fights to get there (maybe not the Australians)

How on earth is New Zealand so bad at boxing though?

Out of curiosity, is it still possible for a nation who qualified here to try to qualify another boxer at the same weight at the World qualifying tournaments and then have a choice of who to select? Or is there a hierarchy in place preventing that or how does it work?

  No. It’s explicit that once qualified you cannot send anyone to the rest of the qualification tournaments at that weight class.

Thought draw for all the Irish boxers except Kellie Harrington who avoided most of the dangerous non seeds until the semis at least. 

 

Aidan Walsh is now our best chance of a men’s medal but his sisters draw is so tough

 

Gone from hoping for 3/4 medals to thinking we’ll get one now

Yeah. Exactly my thinking too.  Definitely O'Rourke and Michaela will find it hard to medal now. Although if O'Rourke does win she should medal. Walker, Irvine and Brennan got brutal draws as well.

 

Still in 2016 I though we were certain of 4 medals and that collapsed on the eve of the Olympics opening.  As of now I'd be ecstatic with two boxing medals. Indeed very happy with one.

We now have 6 boxers qualified for the Olympics, more than I thought to be honest! Not betting on medals again this time but not impossible. Emmet Brennan still has a chance to make it too in the box offs. 

All three of the women are definitely medal contenders.

Our jockeys are also the best in the world.

Yeah there’s been a few Nevins on the scene

 

With an OK draw I’d expect Nevin and Walker to qualify. Harrington and O’Rourke on the women side

 

others might need a bit of luck 

would hope Irvine and Walsh x2 would be close. Think we will ge5 a most 4 men over the two qualifying tournaments but could also get 4 women. We look weak in the men’s heavier weights
