    Most interesting match-ups tomorrow IMO:

    - MW: Matvey Korobov (Russia) vs. Naim Terbunja (Sweden)
    My guy to win gold at middleweight against my guy to watch out for...

    - LHW: Artur Beterbiev (Russia) vs. Kennedy Katende (Sweden)
    Tought draw for the two Swedes who should both be out after the first day of competition.

    - LHW: Kenneth Egan (Ireland) vs. Julius Jackson (Virgin Island)

    Julius, son of Julian, first ever Olympic boxer from Virgin Island - along with his welterweight brother John. This fight is actually a repeat of last year's worlds where Egan stopped him.

    - LHW: Carlos Negron (Puerto Rico) vs. Mehdi Ghorbani (Iran)
    How good is Negron? First chance to see tomorrow.

    Great draw for Brit Tony Jeffries btw who stand a very decent chance of making it to (at least) the semifinals - where he could easily be meeting Kenneth Egan. Interesting! Darren Sutherland at Middleweight also seems to have good chance at reaching semis (= medal) without too much opposition. The Irish must be happy!

    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    Other first-round draws of note:

    - Raushee Warren (USA) vs. Lee Ok-Sung (South Korea) @ flyweight. Current world champ against former (2005) world champ.

    - Sergei Vodopyanov (Russia) vs. McJoe Arroyo (Puerto Rico) @ bantamweight.

    - Badaar-Ugan (Mongolia) vs. Oscar Valdez (Mexico) @ bantamweight.

    - Albert Selimov (Russia) vs. Vasyl Lomachenko (Ukraine) @ featherweight. Repeat of last years WC final.

    - Clemente Russo (Italy) vs. Victor Zuyev (Belarus) @ heavyweight. Reigning WC-champ against silver medallist from Athens.

    - Islam Timurziev (Russia) vs. David Price (GB) @ super heavyweight. Betting favorite against the British hope.

    The Warren / Ok-Sung fight should be a great one, what a tough draw for the first round.
