Women....  Hugely talented squad all are in qtrs except Mary
 
Mary kom...51 ... World legend.....6 time world champion, current bronze medallist in 51 ...Seeded second... Has two bouts but is facing a relatively easy draw...should qualify fairly easily..... 
 
Sakshi 57 ....twice youth gold medallist 2017, 2018.....is young . Has won against the 4th seed THA... was not really fluid..... And possibly a bit lucky to win..... Faces Aeji of KOR.... Aeji was fairly fluid but I think Sakshi would win 
 
 
Simranjit 60 ....2018 world bronze... Faces second seed MGL .......can win I feel as I feel Namuun is not that great a boxer.... But may be close... 
 
Lovlina... 69 ...2018 ,.2019 world bronze, seeded second should win one bout as has an easy draw... 
 
Pooja....75 ...current Asian champ 2019 ...Seeded 4th ... Has just one bout against unknown THA should win.... 
 
 
Should have 4-5 qualifiers after that the real work would start I think

Looking forward to the qualifiers....India in the men... Ashish and Satish in qtrs rest in rd of 16 ... In my opinion India has a great squad in lower weights upto 75 and an average sqd after that
 
1. Amit...52...top seeded...Should qualify easily he has pretty average boxers for the next 2 bouts and he is current Asian champ... World silver... 
 
2 . Gaurav...... 57 ..... Facing a very tough next bout miraziz of uzb(  Current world champ )1... So 90% get eliminated ... Pity as he is a real beautiful boxer lovely straight lines... I think kavinder was not an attractive boxer.. Very old fashioned shell guard
 
3. Manish kaushik...63... Shocked that he is not seeded....current world bronze medallist .. Faces PNG boxer and MGL third seed..... I feel he can win both .... He is one graceful boxer.. Really one of our best 
 
4. Vikas... 69 ....firmer world bronze medalist and . In my view Indias most talented boxer.... Often badly prepared... Has been away for a year tried to turn pro ... But I think he looks focussed and has dropped a weight class..... But should win against KGZ and JPN.... 
 
5. Ashish... 75 .... Lovely lines and has a huge height advantage eliminated the 3rd seed Uulu should win against INA I believe..... 
 
6 . Sachin..... 81... Very unknown.... Faces a relatively easy draw... SAM and than a comparatively weak KGZ seed ..... But no clue.... 
 
7 Naman... 91 .... I think may beat SYR in rd of 16 ..... He is I think is not at all graceful boxer... 
Will probably lose to Nyika of NZL..... ( personally I think Sumit Sangwan is a better boxer in this weight) 
 
8 .Satish... 91+ ....seeded 4 ....Should qualify has only one bout against MGL.... He is a very workmanlike boxer and should win.... 
 
I hope for 4-5 qualifiers 

it seems I was very optimistic when I said then will post the draw in 2 hours. I don't know when that IOC task force will publish it. Iranian boxing federation only published first round opponents for Iranian boxers, we will have lots of IRN/CHN in the first round none of them will face KAZ or UZB in the first round which is a good thing. even though considering our current level any boxer will be considered "tough" for our boxers.

because that's not happened yet, it will start in half an hour. I think we will have the brackets in 2 hours.

Great analysis.. Please continue reviewing ??

1st day of freestyle finalists
 
57: Vokhidov vs Ravi
65: Otoguro vs Bajrang
70: Hosseini vs Bekbulatov
79: Gourav vs Budazhapov
97: Kadian vs Goleij
 
I predicted 7 of the finalists correctly (7 out of 9 actually) , I forgot that Vokhidov guy at 57kg and of course I didn't know this guy Budazhapov who is a very good Russian wrestler. it was quite a day for India, 4 in the final, only Hosseini spoiled their party in the last semifinal.
 
as for Iran, the results are disappointing but expected. it was exactly my prediction to see Hosseini and Goleij in the final. Savadkouhi had gold medal in his pocket IMO but made some stupid mistakes and had a terrible strategy in his semifinal. hearing the conversation our coach was ready to slap him after the match, he was extremely angry ! Sarlak lost narrowly to Sanayev and got eliminated when Ravi Kumar ran over The Kazakh guy. I really think this guy Ravi Kumar is now a gold medal candidate for the Olympics, he keeps improving ! and Maghsoudi was the biggest disappointment of the day ! I didn't expect him to beat Bajrang but what the hell was that ! he beat that Russian kid Kurban Shiraev in World Juniors final few months ago and now Shiraev is the European Champion while Maghsoudi got destroyed by Bajrang.
 
I think Ravi, Bekbulatov, Budzhapov and Goleij will win the gold later today, to me they are all easy predictions. the most interesting match is 65kg final with those 2 guys repeat of  that amazing 2018 World Champs final. Goleij was the same as usual. only pushing and pushing. that will bring him gold in Asia but that doesn't help against better wrestlers. I would consider him #5 in Iran but since Mohammadian is preparing for the AQT and the other guys were unavailable they had to send him. but this is a waste of time, he is not going to improve.
 
India will be in the lead after the first day with probably a good margin over Iran but I think we have better wrestlers for the 2nd day, except for 61kg the other guys will be favorite for the gold. at least 3 of them.
 
and one last thing, Kazakhstan finished 2nd in World Championship only behind Russia, with getting some helps from that magical draw software ! now they are bringing almost the same squad here, only their 70kg guy was different, but none of them made it to the final today ! speaking of cheating with no shame

Want to see Bazri...... Third behind Yazdani and Ghazempour is still a great position..... 
 
Also Indian eyeballs may be on gaurav balian .... He has been youngest ever national champion..... So lot of hopes on him...
