First Session
Women’s 54kg (Bantamweight) – Round of 32
- Huang Hsiao-wen (Chinese Taipei) def. Bojana Gojkovic (Montenegro), 5-0: Huang won bronze in Tokyo and looked sharp again here, but Gojkovic gave this a strong effort in defeat to kick off the boxing in Paris.
- Jutamas Jitpong (Thailand) def. Sara Cirkovic (Serbia), 4-1: I’m guessing we’ll see Cirkovic, 20, back at the Olympics if we still have boxing for 2028, she can clearly box, but Jitpong — a flyweight quarterfinalist in Tokyo — had the experience edge and it proved out in this matchup.
- Nigina Uktamova (Uzbekistan) def. Yomna Ayyad (Egypt): A walkover win to advance Uktamova to the next round.
Women’s 60kg (Lightweight) – Round of 32
- Thi Linh Ha (Vietnam) def. Feofaaki Epenisa (Tonga), 5-0: Linh was just the better boxer. Epenisa tried her best to find her way into it throughout, but Linh has medal aspirations.
- Maria Jose Palacios (Ecuador) def. Agnes Alexiusson (Sweden), 4-1: Split decision, and a rally win for Palacios. Alexiusson won the first round on every card, but Palacios turned it around and took four of the five cards in the end. Competitive and a good style clash.
- Wu Shih-yi (Chinese Taipei) def. Oh Yeonji (South Korea), 5-0: Competitive first round, but Wu pretty well took over from there.
Men’s 63.5kg (Lightweight) – Round of 32
- Radoslav Rosenov (Bulgaria) def. Bakhodur Usmonov (Tajikistan), 5-0: Excellent performance, but he did suffer a cut that could be a problem going forward. He faces Canada’s Wyatt Sanford, the “top seed,” next, as long as the cut passes a check. Really interesting matchup.
- Obada Alkasbeh (Jordan) vs Dean Clancy (Ireland), 3-2: Alkasbeh won it despite a point deduction in the third round, which was a fair call by the ref. The younger Clancy scrapped hard here, but Alkasbeh finally gets a win in his third Olympics appearance, going one-and-done in Rio and Tokyo.
Men’s 80kg (Light Heavyweight) – Round of 32
- Cristian Pinales (Dominican Republic) def. Weerapon Jongjoho (Thailand), 5-0: The widest win of the session and a fairly easy one for Pinales.
