Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted March 2 #1 Share Posted March 2 After a bit of a disappointing set of results at European Games, hopefully we can add a few quotas this week. Women's 50Kg: Savannah Stubley has a bye in round 1 and will fight either Nicole Durikova or Rinka Kinoshita in the round of 32.

Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted March 3 Author #3 Share Posted March 3 Men's 51Kg: Kiaran Macdonald takes out Istvan Szaka 3-2 in round 1. He will be up against 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 Istvan Szaka so Macdonald should be the favourite to get through to last 16.

Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted March 3 Author #4 Share Posted March 3 No Brits in action tomorrow morning but 2 will be competing in the evening session: Men's 57Kg: Owain Harris-Allan v Jose Luis De Lo Santos Feliz Men's 80Kg: Taylor Bevan v Pylyp Akilov Olympicsnell 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted March 4 Author #5 Share Posted March 4 Men's 57Kg: Owain Harris-Allan came through with a 4-1 win against Jose Luis De Lo Santos Feliz. He'll next fight 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 Pylyp Akilov. Three fighters take to the ring tomorrow: Morning Session: Women's 60Kg - Shona Whitwell v Donjeta Sadiku Afternoon Session: No Brits Evening Session: Men's 63.5Kg - Patris Mughalzai v Samuel Contreras Men's 71Kg - Lewis Richardson v Dev Nishant (India having a pretty poor tournament so far - hopefully Richardson can continue that trend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Rafa Maciel 1,261 Posted March 5 Author #10 Share Posted March 5 's pretty mediocre performance in the tournament continues in the evening session Men's 63.5Kg - Patris Mughalzai def. Samuel Contreras on a split decision (4-1) and will be up or opponent in the round of 32. Men's 71Kg - 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.
