Men's 51Kg: Kiaran Macdonald takes out :HUN Istvan Szaka 3-2 in round 1. 

 

He will be up against :TTO Al Jaleel Jokhu in the round of 32. Jokhu competed in the BoxAm tournament in La Nucia last month and lost in the first round (RSC Round 1) against :HUN Istvan Szaka so Macdonald should be the favourite to get through to last 16.

Men's 57Kg: Owain Harris-Allan came through with a 4-1 win against :DOM Jose Luis De Lo Santos Feliz. He'll next fight :NZL Alex Mukuka in what should be a winnable bout. 

 

Men's 80Kg: It was a disappointing end to the night with Taylor Bevan going down to 5-0 defeat at the hands of :HUN Pylyp Akilov. 

 

Three :GBR fighters take to the ring tomorrow:

Morning Session:

Women's 60Kg - Shona Whitwell v :KOS Donjeta Sadiku

 

Afternoon Session:

No Brits

 

Evening Session:

Men's 63.5Kg - Patris Mughalzai v :ESA Samuel Contreras

Men's 71Kg - Lewis Richardson v :IND Dev Nishant (India having a pretty poor tournament so far - hopefully Richardson can continue that trend)

how many do you think gb will qualify/ how many do you think they will be happy with on top of the 3 allready in? i'd like to see 2...maybe 3 get through this tournament?

I think we are probably heading for the smallest GB boxing team since Beijing. For the last 3 games, GB have had at least 10 boxers qualify - at the moment I can't see us getting into double figures for Paris. In Beijing, we had 7 and we might even struggle to match that this time. Having said that, probably worth bearing in mind that the number of places available in boxing has dropped for Paris - there's about 40-50 fewer quotas available. 

 

Perhaps more worrying is the lack of an obvious medal favourite in the squad - if they don't come back with any medals from Paris then GB Boxing will likely see their funding cut significantly.

Probably removed entirely. Even the successful sports are preparing for cuts particularly if the narrative of the entire games is a big decrease in medals. 
 

There needs to be golds in the primetime sports of swimming and Athletics and I’m not sure either will produce a gold.

:GBR's pretty mediocre performance in the tournament continues in the evening session

 

Men's 63.5Kg - Patris Mughalzai def. :ESA Samuel Contreras on a split decision (4-1) and will be up :ETH or :IRI opponent in the round of 32. 

Men's 71Kg - :IND Dev Nishant def. Lewis Richardson on a split decision (3-1). This was always going to be a tough bout with a World Champs bronze medalist but it is still a disappointing end to the day.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
