Men's Boxing AIBA World Championships 2019

I see the 63kg division (named light in the Olympic qualification system and team delegations handbook) has become light welter and light in yesterday's documents (respective examples here and here). What's that about?

 

Had another look and it appears they've called the 57kg division bantam and feather as well. :facepalm: (The latter is the current Olympic name)

This is why every division in every sport with weight classes should just be called by it's weight rather than some sort of confusing name like bantam, feather or welter.

Indian Perspective for these games

 

 

Our Tokyo Prospects are mainly on 3 sports - Shooting , Boxing and Wrestling 

 

 

Shooting has seen a spectacular improvement in the last couple of years , so to boxing now let us see how they do 

 

Mens Boxing has been a bugbear for us - they are Good but not great -   tend to have 4-5 Quarter finalists and then a spectacular fall - Just 0-1 in the semis and then no one in the Finals ( we have never won a gold or silver at the world champs ) , is it a defeatist attitude , poor last mile fine tuning or just that we are not an AIBA " favored " nation I never understood ............

 

So I am looking at this squad to do better .......

 

1. The squad is a very new look squad with a lot of the usual boxers - Shiva , Manoj , Vikas etc not there , I think that is positive sign both from a selection angle and that there is new blood coming in 

 

2. We have 3 seeded Boxers with Amit seeded second as the highest so that is again positive

 

 

Hoping for at least 2 medals and hopefully one boxer in the finals

it's because those 2 weights have been created by merging the old bantam+feather (it was 54 and 57) and the old Lightweights+light welterweights (it was 60 and 64) to cut from 10 to 8 the total number of weight classes...

therefore, as they don't have an official name for the new classes, there's some confusion within the media, calling the new weights with one or the other old name indifferently...

that's why I agree at 100% with @heywoodu...they should just name them by their actual weight limit and stop...:evil::pope:

I mean, the names are absolutely relative...for instance, to me 91kg are small men, just like flyweights :yikes::rofl::facepalm:

And I'm a little used to pro boxing, where at least one thing is simple: "Oh, heavyweights, the heaviest guys, how easy :)"

 

Along comes amateur boxing: "No, wait, we have heavier guys than the heaviest guys, super heavyweights!"

 

Uuugh. I'm waiting for the mega super heavyweights.

    • Women's Champions League   Chelsea FC 1 - 4 FC Barcelona (agg 2-8)    Barcelona have equalled Lyon's record of reaching five finals in a row, with the final in Lisbon to be their 100th Champions League game.   Olympique Lyonnais 1 - 4  Arsenal WFC  (agg 3-5)   Arsenal celebrate their first-ever away win in a UEFA two-legged semi-final tie, which takes them into the final for the first time since they lifted the trophy in 2006/07.   The Final will be in Lisbon, Estadio Jose Alvarde, on 24th May
    • Many things, probably they thought it is already over and the win will come itself... but also Nitra improved their play a lot, they outplayed us in physicality in the last 2 games, they won almost every duel. Was hard to watch. Anyway I am still persuated we will finish the job at home with success on Tuesday
    • If you look at their results this season and on the Super Series, it’s not really that surprising.    I’d consider them to be medal contenders. 
    • At one point it seemed we were making good progress in this sport, but in the past 1-2 years things seem to have hit a standstill..   Ivaylo Ivanov is still our only elite judoka, but he is passing 30. There were/are some promising youngsters, but they haven't been able to make a jump to the senior level. At this Euro we barely had any first round wins (not including Ivanov). In fencing and taekwondo the results are much more visible for us. 
    • yes, but that's only an (important) episode... I mean, what's up with your team more in general...it looks like they got the classic "fear to win", they're not as brilliant as they were in the early games of the series
    • after a few leagues ended well before the true climax, now we have both leagues from the good, old Czechoslovakia going to game #7    shame that both games will be at the exact same time   
    • complete blackout resulting in a 5 minutes major 3 minutes to the end
    • Extraliga Playoffs   The Finals (Best-of-7 Series)   Game #6: HC Kometa Brno (4) - HC Dynamo Pardubice (3)  1-5 (0-1, 0-1, 1-3)   the series is tied 3-3 and also in Czechia we're gonna watch the magic of a game 7...Extraliga does never disappoint its fans    Game #7 is scheduled for Tuesday, April 29th in Pardubice @ 6 p.m. CET
