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!
