Not betting on medals again this time but not impossible. Emmet Brennan still has a chance to make it too in the box offs. All three of the women are definitely medal contenders.

I just read the result and a few lines by the OA sport website, but I don't trust them at all when it comes to boxing...I haven't watched the bout, so I don't know what to think about it... It was a fair judgements. Maybe he was a bit underestimate in the frist rounds, but the Russian really dominated the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Giovanni Gianni Cattaneo 114 Posted June 7, 2021 #253 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I have seen the bout. For me, round 1 was a little little bit for Italian. Ok for second, clearly for Italian, and third, clearly for Russian. No way, when a bout is 50-50, Russia wins. And also when a bout is 50,01-49,99. For wins against a russian, have to destroy him.

dcro 10,179 Posted June 7, 2021 #254 Share Posted June 7, 2021 We qualify a girl in boxing. Easily the most unexpected qualification so far. pdr4332, Benolympique and hckošice 2 1 #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Govorčinović and Tot were improving for some time now, while Čačić here seemingly had a lot of luck with her draw. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Makedonas 1,571 Posted June 7, 2021 #257 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Nikoleta Pita lost No Greek boxers going to Tokyo. Third Olympics in a row that we failed to qualify anyone in boxing. We had three boxers within one win of making it to Tokyo. I really thought at least one of them would win. Tsanikidis having to withdraw due to injury was a huge disappointment. He had the best chance to qualify of all our boxers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragon 1,691 Posted June 7, 2021 #258 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It appears that Great Britain and Uzbekistan will have the most number of qualifiers, 11 each, in Tokyo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vektor 3,195 Posted June 7, 2021 #259 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Well, that's probably it, only one Hungarian athlete in boxing, smallest "team" in boxing for us since 1924. Just put Hungarian boxing out of its misery already and dissolve it before they hurt the legacy of it even more with their disastrous results.

dcro 10,179 Posted June 7, 2021 #260 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I realize that boxing and arrogance are a common combo, but damn, the British boxer really pushed it here... Especially since this interview happened after the match, so one can't really throw it under trash talk. https://olympics.com/live-blog/live-blog-boxing-qualifier-tokyo-2020-paris-monday-7-june-2021/ It's nothing jaw-dropping. But then again, I can imagine plenty contexts where someone who makes such remarks about their opponent's physical appearance would immediately face backlash and calls for a disqualification... #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
