Third round in the ending many good punches from Ela. Each time I agree I really like your female boxers, I crossed my fingers for Kelly etc but this time Ela was better. .. I hope she will go to Paris via QQT. Really sad they for us, she was better this time. But congratulation;) I will keep my fingers crossed for Ela in the WQTs and the other Poles too. It’s heart-breaking when you get so close to the quotas and just miss out. You would think at least a few of them can get over the line at the remaining qualifiers.

Federer91 2,202 Posted June 30, 2023 #162 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Yeah, from all the polish boxers, the women's heavyweight was the best match for them by far. I too think she was a bit better and should have gotten a near win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Federer91 2,202 Posted June 30, 2023 #163 Share Posted June 30, 2023 @OlympicIRL Quick off-topic How to you pronounce "Aoife" ? It's "Ifa" or "Ifie" right? I have 2 Irish colleagues with that name and we have calls from time to time. I don't want to butcher their name OlympicIRL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dodge 750 Posted June 30, 2023 #165 Share Posted June 30, 2023 Middleweight, not heavy weight, and she did get a “near” win. One judge giving her the final round over Aoife could have swung the fight They're two evenly matched boxers but I felt the decision was correct I am, of course, as biased as the Polish commentators Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may well be right - my boxing data is in a mess given the competing iterations of the qualifying pathways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
