I'm impressed... No notice from the danish federation about the event...

Joshua won't even try to qualify, since GBR have stated that no "real Pro" would be named...they would go till the end with the guys who have represented the Country through the whole Olympic cycle...

 

in any case, the established pro fighters will only be allowed to enter in the final Aiba Pro Boxing qualifying tournament in June...the other meets are only intended for the guys committed with aiba only...

 

p.s. I don't think Scheurich will qualify here in Samsun...she has to beat the current World Champion (Savannah Marshall, GBR) to get through to the final (and thus earn an Olympic spot)...and I don't see hw it could happen under normal circumstances (even if we know that in boxing there are no normal circumstances, especially under aiba rules)...

 

Marshall failed.

Top seed in men's middleweight (O'Reilly from Ireland) is out. Defeated by Finland!

Juratoni through in 75 kg with a clear win! First win for us in the tournament, but an impressive one...and with the top seed out, the bout against Fowler will truly be the Gordian knot for our boxer

I wouldn't say it was her fault, by the way...

 

another unexpected result was Ukranian Viktor Petrov's loss against the Turkish guy in the men's -64kg...ok, he got injured at the beginning of the second round, but the fact that round #1 was given to his opponent makes me think...

 

moreover, I don't know why I'm still asking myself how there can be 2 judges of the same bout scoring 30-24 for a fighter (I mean, it's a 2-point margin in each round) and the 3rd judge giving a 30-27 win for the other boxer?

Because boxing.

I like to think it's because judges

Boxing itself is not the problem (and I like too much all fighting sports...so I can't stop watching them only because of their shameful administrators)...

The best thing in boxing is probably going for the TKO.
