    To be honest I picked Brad Pitt only by his name Naim Terbunja is the best fighter out of Scandinavia this year wherefore I would like to believe he had a shot at something (Swedish press has much higher hopes for him than for teammates Badou Jack (representing Gambia, but born and raised in Sweden and from same gym as Terbunja) and Kennedy Katende at least). From what I've seen his style fits even better for pro boxing, so expect to hear a bit more about him in the future. This time round, well, dont put your money here, I guess. Zhiley I know next to nothing about, but for some reason I just fancy the idea of a Chinese Super Heavyweight. And who knows what happens at home turf?

    Valdez and Negron are young upcomers who may or may not have something great in them. And they are going by _huge_ odds, so a bit of money might make sense. See also Amat and Macho's posts in this thread.

    The rest could conceivably win medals, perhaps even gold.

    So Russia is the only country represented in all the weight classes right?
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Good stuff.

    Good point about the Chinese SH.

    Although.. I would fancy the "conspiracy" more if they didn't have a hot gold medal favourite - and a couple of more decent chances.
