Morning session
-Round of 16-
Men’s lightweight (60kg)
- (CUBA) Lázaro Álvarez def. Carmine Tommasone (ITA)
This was a dominant performance for Alvarez, who won a bronze medal back in the 2012 Olympic games.
- (USA) Carlos Balderas def. Daisuke Narimatsu (JAPAN)
Balderas gets his second win and advances to the quarterfinals of the tournament.
- (UZB) Hurshid Tojibaev def. Joe Cordina (GBR)
This was a slower-paced fight. Judges got it right, though.
- (BRA) Robson Conceiçāo def. Anvar Yunusov (TAJ)
Yunusov injured his arm in the very first round of this fight, so he couldn’t do much against someone as good as Conceicao.
-Round of 32-
Men’s middleweight (75kg)
- (ALG) Ilyas Abbadi def. Anauel Ngamissengue (CONGO)
Decent fight here. Abbadi has a lot of potential.
- (AZE) Kamran Shakhsuvarly def. Zhao Minggang (CHN)
Easy work for Shakhsuvarly.
- (MEX) Misael Rodríguez def. Waheed Karaawi (IRAQ)
Really, really good fight. Toe-to-toe action throughout the entire contest.
- (CMR) Wilfried Ntsengue def. Jorge Vivas (COL)
I didn’t agree with the decision on this one, but I’m not a judge.
Men’s super heavyweight (91+kg)
- (VI) Clayton Laurent def. Erik Pfeifer (GER)
Another fight that I didn’t agree with the decision. Good fight though.
