Britain looking good in boxing

August 14th, 2008

Islam Timurziev, the Russian bronze medalist in the world championship, got knocked down twice in his game against the British heavy weight David Price.

Russia was 2-0 ahead in the 1st round, but the 2nd level held a surprising turnover, beating not only the Russian medalist, but also all odds, bettings and expectations. England’s David had his chances to win, but knocking Timurziev twice?

British boy’s combination of right and left hand, accompanied by another vicious left handed smack, pushed David higher into the quarter finals, in face of Lithuania’s Jaroslav Jaksto.  This is definitely a game to watch, as 1 win separates David from an Olympic medal.

Sports betting sites, bet panels and windows definitely got a slap in the face after the elimination of Russia’s medalist and the qualification of Britain’s heavy weighted player into a higher ranked game.
