OLYMPICS BOXING RESULTS – AUSTRALIA

Harry Garside through to round of 16

Garside got Australia’s boxing campaign underway with a slick points win over Papua New Guinea’s John Ume. With power in both hands and a come-forward approach, Ume was a dangerous foe, but Garside’s movement, jab and timing kept him in front the whole fight.

 

Garside wore a couple of big shots from Ume, but dished out plenty of his own on the way to claiming all three rounds and all five judges’ scorecards.

Olympic boxing matches are contested over three, three minute rounds.

 

Five ringisde judges score each bout on a 10-point must scoring system. It’s the same set-up as the professional ranks, but with an extra judge in an attempt at avoiding corruption and incompetence ruining a fight.

 

Headgear is no longer worn at boxing at the Olympics.

 

OLYMPIC BOXERS WHO BECAME WORLD CHAMPIONS

The Olympics has been the launching pad for some of the greatest fighters the world has ever seen, including multiple world champions at many weight classes and the highest paid sportspeople on the planet.

 

Muhammad Ali is the first name that springs to mind, with the future three-time heavyweight world champion winning a gold medal at light-heavyweight at the Rome Olympics in 1960.

 

Two of Ali’s great rivals, Joe Frazier and George Foreman won heavyweight golds in 1964 and 1968 respectively, while Oleksandr Usyk (heavy), Lennox Lewis (super heavy), Wladimir Klitschko (super heavy) and Anthony Joshua (super heavy) all went on to become pound-for-pound superstars after winning Olympic gold.

 

In the lighter weight classes, you can add Andre Ward (light heavy), Vasyl Lomachenko (feather and light), Oscar de la Hoya (light), Pernell Whitaker (light), Meldrick Taylor (feather), Sugar Ray Leonard (light welter, now discontinued), Guillermo Rigondeaux (bantam, now discontinued) all went on to have hugely successful pro boxing careers.

 

BOXING CONTROVERSY AT THE OLYMPICS

Boxing loves a good controversy, and that extends all the way to the amateur ranks at the Olympics.

 

Some of the most controversial moments in Olympics boxing history happened to some of the best to ever do it.

 

Floyd Mayweather was the victim of some atrocious judging in Atlanta in 1996, where he eventually claimed a bronze medal. It was his last ever loss as a boxer. Read more about it here.

 

Another future hall of famer, Roy Jones Jr. was also on the wrong side of some crooked judging when he was dudded in his gold medal match in 1988.

 

RJJ breezed through the fight against home town fighter Park Si-hun on the final day of competition in Seoul.

 

Jones Jr outstruck Park by a margin of 86 to 32 and there are only three people on the whole planet who thought the South Korean deserved to win. Sadly, those three people were the judges that day.

 

Three of the jduges, Bob Kasule of Uganda, Uruguay’s Alberto Durán and Hiouad Larbi of Morocco awarded the win to Park.

 

Honestly, it’s still embarrassing to watch the fight and know how they scored it.

You learn from your failures, happy with experience gained in Tokyo Olympics: Bhavani Devi
While analysing her performance in the Tokyo Olympics, India fencer Bhavani Devi on Tuesday said she is content with her showing at the Games and will take learnings from this, and try to do better in the upcoming tournaments.

Bhavani had gone down against France’s Manon Brunet in women’s individual sabre 15-7 in the Round of 32 match on Monday. The experienced French fourth seed won the match very comfortably after Bhavani had defeated Tunisia’s Ben Azizi Nadia to become the first Indian to win a match in fencing at Olympics.

“For me, I felt that I have given my best. Of course, I was a little disappointed after the second round, I always wanted to win a medal for India. It is not only in Olympics, I want to win medals everywhere. You learn from your failures, I accept what I have done in this Olympics. I am happy about all the experience I received during the process,” Bhavani told ANI in an interview on Tuesday.

“You always improve at each competition, the journey to arrive in the Olympics was not easy. I worked hard and I finally represented India at the Olympics, I have learnt a lot, I will definitely work harder to do better in the coming tournaments,” she added.

When asked about how she felt after winning her Round of 64 fixture against Nadia, Bhavani said: “Definitely yes, qualifying for the first time and then winning for the first time gives all the athletes energy to do better in the next events. For me, it is not just about round 1 or 2, I always want to have that medal. Anyhow, I exited in Round 32, but the support I received from people and our Prime Minister Narendra Modi motivated me, and it has given me the energy to work harder and give better performances in the coming tournaments.”
