With Rafael Lozano's qualification, it's the highest  representation at the Olympics boxing competition since ofc 1992.

And another one! Ayoub Ghadfa (+92kg) gets the 6th quota for  (3 quotas in this second qualifier)

I was expecting 0 quotas from this event, but 2 aren’t bad.

So Uzbekistan secure there status behind Australia's nonsense total with the second largest squad for Paris after Navbakhor Khamidova's  win combined with Martin McDonagh  razor thin loss. Ireland took their time getting there with plenty of ups and downs but ultimately beat their official target of 8 and hit my and probably the squad's unofficial target of 10 although Kelyn Cassidy's  and Martin McDonagh's losses do still sting. Kazakhstan complete their remarkable recovery from their Asian games debacle to join Ireland and Brazil on 10. Thailand take advantage of a home qualifying tournament and the fortunate reallacation of Chinzorig Baatarsukh's  Asian games quota to Bunjong Sinsiri  to set an impressive total of 8. The US had a couple of very big names (Robby Gonzalez , Jamar Talley ) miss out but utimately should be fairly satisfied with their 8 qualifiers. China, Italy, Turkey and France all conclude succesful qualifying campaigns also on 8 qualifiers although France might be a little dissapointed after securing 7 at European Games and having strong squads at both of the world tournaments to not add further to their tally for their home Olympics. Succesful final qualifying tournaments for Spain, Azerbaijan, Chinese Taipei, Poland, Philippines, Mexico, Jordan all wrap up relatively to very succesful qualifying campaigns while India, Ukraine and South Korea somewhat redeem what had been dissapointing ones up to this point. While Cuba have been hurt by the shift towards gender parity missing out in two of the men's weightclasses to end up with just 5 quotas is still a major surprise. While certainly not Cuba it was a major surprise it took Armenia to one of the very last fights to take a quota and that fight could so easily have gone the other way. Japan join them in the major dissapointment category with just 2 quotas failing to kick on after a very succesful Tokyo. Notable countries who miss out entirely include Iran, Argentina, Greece, Czechia, Belarus (although they only competed at one tournament), Moldova, New Zealand, Turkmenistan, Uganda, Ghana, South Africa and Kenya.

 

Continental Breakdown

 

	Projected	Actual	1st world qualifier	Total
Europe	24	22	24	46
Asia	19	20	17	37
Americas	8	7	8	15
Africa	0	2	0	2

I do think it is interesting to have a quick look at a continental breakdown given the uneven number of quotas available at the continental qualifiers. Ultimately Europe prevailed at both world qualifiers and justified their additional continental quotas even in Russia's absence. It was good to see 2 African boxers get over the line here as they had suffered the most from less continental quotas being allocated although its hard to argue they deserve more quotas than they were allocated. Unsurprisingly Oceania didn't produce a single qualifier at either of the world qualifying events.

 

My predictions

 

	Correct predictions	Percentage
European Games	25/44	56.8%
African Qualifying tournament	9/18	50%
Asian Games	18/34	52.9%
Pan-American Games	20/30	66.7%
Pacific Games	12/13	92.3%
First world qualifier	18/49	36.7%
Second world qualifers	23/51	45.1%
Total	125/239	52.3%

 

Well at least I got close to 50% this time around with a couple of mistakes and a few surprise results costing me but I did break 50% for qualification as a whole which while a little dissapointing is fine.

 

The final thing I would say about this tournament is I thought the standard of judging was much improved. After some concerning judging decisions at earlier qualifiers outside of some very close fights which no matter what the decision would have genereated controvversy one way or the other and Thailand getting the typical home advantage the judging was fine and that at least is encouraging for the Olympics. My perception at least was there was much more consensus among judges at this tournament and if they weed out the last few bad judges I really wouldn't be that concerned right now about judging playing a major factor at the Olympics. Refereeing wise there did seem to be an increase accross the board in the number of points deductions dished out but as I explained in great detail at some point in the first world qualifying thread one point deduction basically doesn't matter and there were only 1 or 2 fights in the entire tournament that the final outcome of a fight was actually effected by warnings.
