Re: Gary Russell Jr. Collapses Trying To Make Weight
Just read this, you beat me to posting it. Man that sucks he had a good chance of making the medal stand.
For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

That's too bad. I've been following him. Oh well, the US still has 7 more boxers on their team then us, so...

Re: Gary Russell Jr. Collapses Trying To Make Weight
To bad. He's one of the guys who is going to get some of the biggest buzz when he turns pro and I've read before that when he does turn pro it will likely be at 135 so obviously the 119 lb limit was a struggle for him. Good thing he was found though.

Re: Boxing at the Olympics '08
Most interesting match-ups tomorrow IMO:Originally Posted by Mikkel_K
- 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!
