I aimed to highlight the fighters who have stood out to me in the lead-up to the Games. It was quite challenging to narrow down the selection to 15, as I intended to represent all weight divisions. I understand that my choices may not align with everyone's preferences. Nonetheless, here are the honorable mentions that I would like to acknowledge and should also keep eye on: Super Heavyweight (92Kg +) Joshua Edwards 🇺🇸 Teremoana Jr 🇦🇺 Heavyweight (92Kg) Aibek Oralbay 🇰🇿 Loren Alfonso 🇦🇿 Keno Machado 🇧🇷 Light Heavyweight (80kg) Eumir Marcial 🇵🇭 Nurbek Oralbay 🇰🇿 Tanglatihan 🇨🇳 Light Middleweight (71 KG) Aidan Walsh 🇮🇪 Lewis Richardson 🇬🇧 Asadkhuja Muydinkhujaev 🇺🇿 Light Welterweight (63.5Kg) Erislandy Alvarez 🇨🇺 Ruslan Abdullaev 🇺🇿 Harry Garside 🇦🇺 Lasha Guruli 🇬🇪 Featherweight (57Kg) Carlo Paalam 🇵🇭 Jaiver Ibanes 🇧🇬 Saidel Horta 🇨🇺 Flyweight (51KG) Billal Bennama 🇫🇷 Partick Chinyemba 🇿🇲 Amir Panghal 🇮🇳
Another boxer who did well in amateur career was Golovkin from Kazakhstan who took silver at the 2004 Summer Olympics and gold in the middleweight division at the 2003 World Championships.
My countryman, Eumir Marcial, is a bronze olympic medalist of the middleweight division in 2020 and will fight in light heavyweight this year. Seeing how there's strong competition in that weight division, I only wish him goodluck and bring home the gold 🥇
I got the chance to fight Jahmal Harvey in a local bout back in may and i truly think he’ll win gold (might be a lil biased) but he was the smartest man ive ever been in the ring with he had an answer for everything i did it felt like he was five steps ahead at all times
I'm rooting for our countrymen Carlo Paalam and Eumir Marcial to finally win us a gold medal in boxing. I think Paalam vs Aider Abduraimov will be interesting.
Can you do a video on how Kid Gavilan trained? He's one of the best welterweights whoever laced up a pair of gloves. I have him in my top 5 welterweights list.
Thanks. Appreciate it jamie. Tbh id have no idea who to be sure to check out except for a couple of medalists and like jololov. Im sure ill find this helpful.
Omfg Jalololv is back again?!! I was wondering why I hadn’t seen him fight in awhile. He’s going to clean up; even if the comp is better, he’s gotten better
What about Bakhodur Usmonov hes so fun to watch he has an amazing style and i truly believe he will at least win a bronze medal even tho the 63kg division is tuff
Looking forward to see the 71 kg. division. Denmark has a young rising star, in Nikolai Terteryan🥊 - he won gold at European Championship U23 and Gold in the European Games, Keep an eye out for this proud young man, his family decending from Armenia.
It sucks that Arlen & Khyzhniak have to face off, I want both of them to win. I had Harvey ending the gold drought for USA until I found out he has to beat Khalokov.
Wyatt Sanford is from Kennetcook Nova Scotia. One of his original trainer was his own father. Locally he is known as the the Kennetcook Kid This is his 2nd Olympic appearance..
This olympics is really stacked. But im really hoping for 2 upsets by my fellow countrymen Carlos Paalam and Eumir Marcial as they really have enough power/ explosivity to really make underdog victory.
Bit harsh to say, but I hope Delicious Orie doesn't go too far, so I don't have to hear that stupid name anymore, 'delicious'... I mean wtf were his parents thinking naming him that... Poor guy.
I didn’t forget him I just didn’t include. I was trying to cover all divisions. So was hard to narrow down! I included him in my pinned comment. Maybe I should do part 2.
@@BoxingLife yeah bro I understand there's so much talent. I suppose he isn't the best style boxer out there compared to the rest but he does pack a good punch and has good IQ. You had a awesome selection keep up the good work I love your videos
@@BoxingLife your videos have helped me to get better at boxing. I'm currently 6-1 the one I lost I had a knee injury from rugby but I still fought and had 4 hours sleep and fought at 10pm at night. I knew where I went wrong which was in my prep bc I knew I could've won that fight and my opponent knew that aswell. Enough about me bro hahaha. Hopefully I get good one day and you'll be making a video of me 🤞😂
@@maiahaumu8236amazing to hear man! Good that you know where you went wrong! Always learn more from losing. Keep it up man and maybe it will just happen 👊
You missed Lasha Guruli 🇬🇪 from the list, unfortunately, that guy is coming for the gold and does everything, he is in the best shape and has the highest level of technique, watch his fights, he will take the gold 🥇 in 63.5 kg! Mark my words. On the other hand, this is good list, in list thing is that some Cubans and Uzbeks are missing good fighters, but still... thanks for nice video. ✊🏻❤️
I can’t wait to watch the Olympic boxing. I don’t think it’s right that professionals can compete in boxing now I think they should leave it for the amateurs only.
You never mentioned Keno Machado. He is one of the best prospects out of Bahia, Brasil. He was unfortunate to lose to La Cruz in the Pan-Am games final recnetly. As we know the ameteur system loves Cubans. He was robbed against bridgerweight champion Muslim Gadzhimagomedov in the World Chmapionships. He was also unlucky vs Ben Whittaker in 2021 in Tokyo.
What I don't get and maybe someone could explain it to me is how pro boxers like Mayweather didn't take gold but do do really well outside of the Olympics or vice versa?
Amateur boxing consists of three rounds and is usually fought at a much higher pace, prioritizing speed over power. In contrast, professional boxing has more rounds and is fought at a slower pace. The scoring systems differ as well, with amateur boxing focusing on the number of clean punches landed. While professional boxing is considered more about getting the knockout while judging can be more subjective with factors like aggression and ring control being more considered. In my opinion, amateur boxing often favors more aggressive, Eastern styles compared to the counter-punching styles commonly seen in American boxing. However, this isn’t always the case. E.g. Some Cubans you get very good defensive amateurs who win fights from defense and counter punching alone.
Pues les faltó ver las eliminatorias porque, a pesar de que estan los luchadores de Uzbekistán no está Aidan Walsh .... Se que tengo algún error de ortografía y pido excusas a las personas de aquellos lugares o allegados.
And doesn’t you think that JAMAL HARVEY LOOK JUST LIKE MAUCUS SMART because I think that he really does almost guarantee that they are related or something like that seriously though
NICE ONE JAMIE 👊 OLYMPICS ALWAYS REMINDS ME SADLY OF ALL THE CUBAN WORLD CHAMPIONS THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD BUT FOR ALL THE BULLSHIT POLITICS 🥊 IM STILL WATCHING OUT FOR ANDY CRUZ TO CAUSE SOME UPSETS DOWN AT LIGHTWEIGHT NOW THE BAN HAS BEEN LIFTED ON CUBAN BOXERS !
