In the biggest bout of his career to date, former 2004 Olympic Gold Medal winner Andre Ward pulled off a superb performance to control the action against dangerous opponent Edison Miranda over twelve rounds at super middle for a points verdict at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, CA.
Fighting in front of a motivated home-crowd, Ward asserted his authority from the first bell and immediately staked his claim to being the bigger, faster, stronger fighter against Miranda.
Ward was constantly moving and never really let Miranda get set, peppering the former middleweight world title challenger with jabs and powershots to the head and body. More...

On Thursday, August 14, 2008 welterweight Gold Medal favorite Demetrius Andrade opened the next round of elimination bouts for the U.S. team competing in the Round of 16 against thirty-two year old Andrey Balanov of Russia, who Andrade had previously lost to as a young seventeen year old at the 2005 World Cup.
Following Andrade into the Round of 16 elimination bouts are featherweight Raynell Williams, who faces Khedafi Djelkhir of France later today, middleweight Shawn Estrada and light flyweight Luis Yanez compete tomorrow and Deontay Wilder moves into the Quarter finals on Sunday due to the smaller field in the heavyweight division.
A quick recap of the rest of the U.S. boxing team starts before the first punch was even thrown. Bantamweight Gold Medal favorite Gary Russell, Jr collapsed from dehydration on the Thursday before the weigh-in, trying to shed one last pound and was not able to compete in the Olympic Games.
Light welterweight Javier Molina was unable to cut off the ring as he chased the faster Boris Georgiev of Bulgaria to a 14-1 loss. Lightweight Sadam Ali abandoned his boxing skills and lost to Georgian Popescu of Romania by a score of 20-5.
One of the most crushing blows to the U.S. team was when two-time Olympian and Gold Medal favorite Rau’shee Warren thought he was ahead on points during the last round and did not throw any punches against Korea ’s Oksung Lee.
With only four seconds left in the bout, Warren noticed his coach telling him to throw punches, but it was too late, losing the chance to fulfill his Olympic dream by a score of 9-8. More...

Last Saturday, August 9, 2008, middleweight Shawn Estrada got the U.S. boxing team off to a great start, winning his preliminary bout against Ezequiel Maderna of Argentina by a final score of 10-2. Estrada could not have asked for a better draw, having previously beat Maderna at the Americas Qualifier in Guatemala by a score of 4-1 earlier this year.
Estrada used the ring well boxing to an early lead of 7-1 at the end of round two. The taller Maderna was unable to use his height advantage and struggled to score points.
Round three was a low scoring round with each fighter gaining only one point. Estrada smothered himself on the inside, which prevented him from throwing clean punches. He scored two additional points in the fourth round and gave the U.S. boxing team their first win, advancing to the Round of 16 where he will face James DeGale of Great Britian.
On the second day of Olympic boxing, the light welterweight and welterweight fighters took center stage and the U.S. had mixed results, going one and one.
The eighteen year-old U.S. light welterweight Javier Molina faced off against tough twenty-five year-old Boris Georgiev of Bulgaria, who had won a Bronze Medal at the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
Molina gave Georgiev some early opportunities, leaving his head open by bouncing his left hand from his chest to his leg, creating openings for the Bulgarian, which he capitalized on by ending the first round with a 6-0 lead. More...

It's been a tough Olympics for Team Germany as three of the four German boxers have now gone down to defeat, leaving just one man to carry the hopes of the country that has won 28 medals in the sport since 1896.
Things started off badly on Saturday as middleweight Konstantin Buga lost to Ecuador's Carlos Gongora.
Born in Kazahkstan but residing in Germany since 1996, the 23 year old Buga was a German welterweight champion in 2005 but did well as a middleweight at the 2007 World Championships, shocking America's Shawn Estrada before losing to eventual Silver Medallist Alfonso Blanco of Venezuela.
But Buga couldn't master the 19 year old Gongorga at Worker's Gymnasium, losing to the South American 14-7.
On Sunday, aggressive welterweight Jack Culcay-Keth tangled to a standstill with Korea's Jungjoo Kim on a score of 11-11, only to lose a controversial decision when Kim was judged to be the more effective fighter. More...

Shawn Estrada is not one to shy away from a challenge. He was announced as part of the U.S. Olympic boxing team in August, 2007 after defeating two of the favorites in the US. Olympic Team Trials, Fernando Guerrero and Danny Jacobs, who both turned professional after their loss to Estrada.
Just to provide an idea of the level of competition they offered, they currently hold a combined record of 17-0 (17) in only eight months as professional fighters.
Estrada was one of three teammates that had their last opportunity to qualify nationally for the U.S. Olympic boxing team at the final Americas Olympic Qualifier in April of this year in Guatemala City. More...
