From a squad of eight, considered by many in the profession to be the best ever sent to an Olympic Games, Team GB has one golden possibility in this weekend's Finals. A shame perhaps but no sad state of affairs and given the absence of Frankie Gavin, a haul of 3 medals - a repeat of Alan Minter's team of 72' and predicted in this column 3 weeks ago - is a fair return in the wake of Cuban domination and a spike of upsets afflicting the big guns, particularly Russia and the USA.
But let's celebrate the achievement so far of James Degale who was outstanding in scalping Irishman Darren Sutherland to claim at least silver. Trailing 4-1 in their mini series, Degale was always in control harnessing excellent speed and movement. His timing on the counter is reaching near perfect pitch and while he has not been renowned for his mental fortitude in the past, 'Chunky' has always been among the most talented at Team GB.
His Cuban opponent Correa, who's father was one of Cuba's 1st ever Gold medallists in 1972, is powerful and organized but if his head is right, Degale has the speed and class to win Gold.
Put down the bunting for a moment though and wheel out that Irish grandfather, for home nation interest also revolves around the excellent Irish Captain Kenny Egan, Gold medal favourite at Light heavy. Egan has impressed at every turn with an understated confidence, he knows exactly what he is doing. No back foot merchant, Egan is deceptively aggressive; staying just in range so as to tease lead punches but he has the guile to slip and importantly, the speed to counter. All of this was evident in his comfortable 10-3 win over GB's Tony Jeffries. Egan will be mindful of winning clearly against Chinese opponent Zhang who was beneficiary of the 2nd most generous decision of the day.
The other Zhang, operating at Superheavy didn't have to lace the gloves as Glaskov surprisingly failed to show so it's Zhang against reigning World Champion Roberto Cammarelle in the final. I'm so peeved by the standard of the scoring in general but particularly the pro-Asian slant in this tournament that I'm rooting for Cammarelle who hits hard and stopped GB's David Price in two one sided rounds. It helps that Zhang carries his left hand so low that he is just begging to be knocked out.
Egan's Irish teammate Paddy Barnes was up against a vociferous home support, some indifferent early scoring as well as an elusive talent in Zou Shiming at Light Fly. China's first ever World Champion is an amateur bag of tricks and he will have too much of everything for cagey Mongolian Purevdorj, who was gifted a shocking countback win over the Cuban Hernandez.
A more worthy Mongolian finalist is Ebkhbat Badar Uugan who faces the tough but predictable Cuban Yankiel Leon at Bantam. Badar Uugan throws a terrific left jab while circling away from danger and that creates possibilities for right hand counters. Leon has a decent guard but he'll come forward and that will suit B Uugan.
Frankie Gavin would have won Gold at Lightweight, I'm certain, with the man he beat for the World title, Alexey Tishenko, through to the final. Tishenko, who won Athens Gold at Featherweight, has looked less impressive up in weight and I'm keen to take him on. Frenchman Daouda Sow isn't brilliant but he's taller and stronger.
Sow defeated Ugas, one of four semi-final reverses for the Cubans though none as unpalatable as Hernandez. Their team still have 4 Gold possibles including at Fly weight where Andris Laffita came through a quality joust with diminutive Russian, Georgy Balakshin. A tight, thoughtful affair, the on-his-toes Cuban showed excellent footwork throughout and was rewarded for his closing fight positivity with a winning point scored in the dying seconds. His mental strength will be tested though by the awkward Thai Somjit Jongjohor. A praying mantis who plays the amateur game brilliantly, Johgjohor was far too clever for the weak Italian Picardi. Laffita is the better pure boxer but Jongjohor controls his fights wilfully and may squeak it.
Fellow Thai Manus Boonjumnong is an outrageous character who reportedly went through his $600K Gold medal reward money from Athens at George Best pace. Anyone who's ever been to Bangkok can probably understand why. He boxes with similar exuberance - like boxing's version of Harrold Lloyd - and with Light Welter Gold an absolute lock, 'Mad' Manus is set for another spending spree.
Hottest favourite going into the semis was Vasyl Lomachenko and the sharp-shooting Ukranian didn't disappoint. Having disposed of the World Champion in his opening fight, Lomachenko has conceded just 5 pts his last 3 bouts. Technically brilliant, the former Junior Champion is crowd pleasing as well as hard to hit and while Opponent Djelkhir is certainly the former, his come forward pro style will be easy pickings for Lomachenko.
One of the tighter finals is at Welter between organised Carlos Banteaux and Bakhyt Sarsekbayev. Banteaux throws lots of leather from behind a high guard while Sarsekbayev is more accurate and varied. It maybe just brain over brawn here.
Finally, if you had to pay to watch one of the two Heavyweight finalists, favourite Russo would be bottom of that and most other lists. Unfortunately, the sneaky Italian will probably have too much guile for the likeable and certain future pro Chakheiv.
