[Youngblood]

Go Canada! All one of us!

[saturday_kid]

looking forward to hopefully seeing the UK do well, frankie gavin's hotly tipped look out for him.

[amat]

Yes he is. He lost his appeal yesterday but they weren't really expecting to win that anyways, they just had to get that out of the way before going to an independent arbitrator where he has a much better shot at winning the team. Pretty cold if he's left off, he did earn his way there by fighting.

He wouldn't have must of a shot anyways but that's not the point. Yanez' exclusion means an 8 man team for the US, I can't recall the US ever having a team so small. Even in the dismal 2004 games they had 11.

Mikkel Brilliat thread

[killersheep]

Well done Mikkel K, I will definately be stopping by this thread often. This looks to be a very competitive year.

[mike_tha_man]

thanks for the thread. this will be my stop for all the olympic boxing info. great stuff this year and it looks pretty even in alot of those divisions. gotta root for my puertorican brothers holding it down!! hopefully we can take a gold home this year since we have been having a great year so far in the pros. anyways thanks again Mikkel_K

[Tito BHB]

Nice thread.. Appreciate the effort man.

Sadam Ali for lightweight Gold in Beijing!

[LacosteDon]

thanks for the post im looking forward to seeing the olympicspe@ce

[Mikkel_K]

Added some Youtube-links.
More to come.

[Salty]

I'm hoping Andy Little can do a lot, apparently he hits extremely hard for a 60kg fighter. I guess i'll see for my own eyes which I can't wait

Great thread and review btw mate!

Thanks man! Just added a clip with him for you.

The Lightweight division looks like an absolut feast! I'm sure the Brits will agree, and apparently the Saddo regulars have their own favorites here as well (Sadam Ali and Anthony Little). Add to that that ABA still rates Alexei Tishchenko as the number 1 amateur boxer P4P, plus you've got a pretty good Cuban (rated 4 in the world) and a solid Chinese (rated 5) fighting at home soil...

Should be a good 'un.

[fugaziuk]

I work at a hotel in sheffield and we had all the brit lads stopping with us for the past year or so training at the insititue of sport - great bunch of lads hope they can fly the flg for us this year.

[Mikkel_K]

Bomp. 4 days to competion starts. Draw is on friday.

Youtube links up for all divisions. Previews to follow tomorrow.
