I think "chubby" is a gross understatement.

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Bump.

Olympians fighting this week in London.

91+kg in no order

Ivan Dychko - 21 yr old from Kazakhstan. Stands 6'9" tall. Looks kinda like a young Vitali with a shaved head. Here's a picture of him http://88.85.4.2/images/photos/002574.jpg

Ivan Dychko - Boxing Prospects

Magomedrasul Majidov - Fights for Azerbaijan. Won Gold at the 2011 World Amateur Championships. Named the best boxer of 2011 beating Savon, Dychko & Joshua.



Magomed Omarov - 20 yr old power puncher from Russia...won Gold at the 2011 European Amateur Championships in Turkey.



Anthony Joshua - 6'6" Brit won Silver at the World Amateur Championships losing a one point decision to the home fighter Majidov/Medzhidov. Defeated 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist Roberto Cammarelle at the same tournament.

Here's the 2012 Olympic bracket for the Super Heavies




Savon-Joshua is the can't miss fight of the first round. Whoever wins that will face 2008 Olympic Silver medalist Zhang Zhilei next assuming he wins. I personally can't wait to see Medzhidov-Omarov in the second round...that's gonna be explosive

[THE PHILOSOPHER]

Good stuff tiger fan...

*There was this kid,jerimiah Graziano... anyone ever heard of him or know what happened to him?

[TigerFan]

Medzhidov dominated and stopped Mwamba (Congo) in the second round.

Omarov (Russia) vs Breazeale (USA) is up next.

[TigerFan]

Omarov defeated Breazeale 19-8.

Breazeale suffered a couple of standing 8's in the fight.

[TigerFan]

Did anybody see the other two fights? How did Cammarelle look?

[TigerFan]

Dychko (Kazakhstan) looked very impressive beating Pfeifer (Germany) on points 14-4.

Ivan not only looks like Vitali but fights like him with the low guard + the upper body movement. The only difference is Ivan is very light on his feet. At 6'9" he moves like a lightweight

Definitely a dark horse to win Gold.

[TigerFan]

2008 Silver Medalist Zhang Zhilei is up next then Joshua-Savon

[Cressa121]

Did anybody see the other two fights? How did Cammarelle look?

Cammarelle looked quite good but the Ecuadorian just stood in front of him looking for one big shot throughout. He did land one towards the end that made Cammarelle's legs sag a bit but by that point he'd already had a few standing counts and was well behind.

[TigerFan]

Zhilei (China) stops Linde (Australia) in the 2nd.

I remember the Duva's were interested in signing Zhang to a pro contract. Maybe he'll go pro after these games.

[TigerFan]

Joshua (Great Britain) beat Savon (Cuba) on points 17-16.

Home cooking. I thought Savon should have won.

[superheavyrhun]

Joshua (Great Britain) beat Savon (Cuba) on points 17-16.

Home cooking. I thought Savon should have won.

I'm inclined to agree with you, especially with the third round which I thought Savon dominated by four or five points.
