@sab, where had u been man, what do u think about Viju's bout, i m more confident of Devendro (becoming a fan of his junglee billi style) winning his bout but not sure of Vijender, what u think??
I think Mary Kom and Vijender will win Gold. If Vijender takes 1-2 points lead Atoev wont be able to hide behind his shield. Once he exposes himself Vijender is likely to score more and take advantage of his height. Same happened in Asian Games final and Vijender won 7-0. Atoev is not good as an agressive boxer. I was so happy when I saw Emillio Corria is not there this time.
Mary Kom will beat Nicola and Ren Cancan both. She has never been defeated by anyone twice
Because she scrutinises her opponent and return very hard next time. When she shifted to 51 kg she had problem to handle taller Ren Cancan and lost in the Semifinal of Asian games. But, later She easily beat Ren in Asian Boxing Championshib with convincing margin. Same will happen against Nicola who beat Mary during the qualifier. Nicola is taller and stronger but Mary is more skillfull. She has practiced with tall male boxers just keeping Nicola and Ren in mind. And there is no one worth mentioning in 51 kg except these three.After Shiva Thapa is gone, Devendro has become my favourite boxer. He is different from other Indians- he uses both hands equally well ( like claws of a leopard
), Punches in combination of two, three, four (or even more ) unlike other Indians who prefer single jabs most. And Devendro has his 'Brambhastra' the hook he uses from very close range when the opponent is alomost up on him (Have you noticed it?) That's why Devendro's bout is always high scoring (once he scored more than 40 during AIBA WC 2011). I think he will easily beat Paddy Barnes. I have not seen the Englishman but expecting he will not be as agile as the Chinese or the Korean boxers. BTW , the Korean I was telling about in a controversial bout against a Bulgarian guy. Now Devendro's greatest barrier will come in the Semi-final against the Chinese guy who won gold in 2008. He is agile like Devendro (It's an attribute of Mongoloid race) , very skillful and much more experienced. But, Devendro must continue his aggressive policy. That is very unsettling for the opponent irrespective of their quality.BTW, for last couple of days I am dreaming about three golds in boxing and Devendro knocking out everyone on his way.
