The warm-up boxing event for the Olympic Games and part of the Good Luck Beijing series finished today. The event was well run even though attendance was pretty low. Lots of volunteers were on hand and they were friendly and helpful even if they didn’t seem to have much to do, other than standing out in the cold.

I have been taking a subway sandwich each day I have been. The first day I could take drinks in, the next day my can of diet-coke was confiscated. Ok, no can drinks I thought. I bought a Gatorade today and I had to leave that at the entrance also. Felt thirsty later and went to the snack booth only to find that they weren’t selling any drinks at all, just a few Snicker’s bars. Seemed a bit strange to me. You would have thought it would have been pretty easy to get a sport’s drink company to sponsor such an event. Went to pick it up on the way out, only to find someone had drank most of it!

The most enthusiastic supporter awards go to Kazakhstan. I don’t know if they have a high number of people from the country living in China, but they were the most vocal and funny. Silver medal to the lone Mexican supporter who just started singing in Spanish during his countrymen’s fights. Bronze to the Chinese. Big in numbers, but lacking a little creativity and they just seemed a little too organized.

Anyway here is the final results. Videos to of the fights to come soon.

Butdee Chatchal from Thailand defeated Avila Braulio from Mexico in the flyweight 51 kg.

Raynell Williams from the United States defeated Santo Arturo from Mexico in the feather weight 57 kg.

Serik Yleuov from Kazakhstan defeated Ali Sadam from the United States in the the light weight 60 kg.

Ivanov Dmitry from Russia defeated Kanat Orakbayev from Kazakhstan in the 69 kg welter weight.

Daniel Price from England defeated Deontay Wilder from the US in a walk over in the 91 kg heavy weight. This was disappointing as I thought this would be most interesting bout on the card.

Denis Sergeev from Russia came back to beat Michael Hunter in the over 91 kg super heavy weight class.
