Light Welterweight (141 lbs/64kg)

Manoj Kumar (India) def. Serdar Hudayberdiyev (Turkmenistan), 13-7: Good fight, and with Kumar up heading into the third, Hudayberdiyev gave a big, honest effort in the final round, and as a result, both had to leave it in the ring. Kumar moves on to face Tom Stalker of Great Britain on August 4.

Richarno Colin (Mauritius) def. Abdelhak Aatakni (Morocco), 16-10: Very exciting fight, pretty much pro-style with headgear and vests. Both gave big-time effort and turned it into a slugfest. Colin moves on and earned it all the way.

Munkh-Erdene Uranchimeg (Mongolia) def. Zdenek Chiladek (Czech Republic), 20-12: The Mongol was really terrific here, and frustrated the hell out of Chiladek, who tried to rough it up a bit to get in the fight, but it just didn't happen. Not totally uncompetitive, but Uranchimeg's class showed.

Jeff Horn (Australia) vs Gilbert Choombe (Zambia), 19-5: Horn got a very fortunate draw here, as this was easy pickings against a tentative opponent who just didn't let his hands go much at all. Next round should present a much stiffer test for Horn, and we'll see how good he really is. This was a cakewalk, with respect to Choombe as Zambia's only fighter at the games.

Abderrazak Ouya (Tunisia) def. Gaybatulla Gadzhialiyev (Azerbaijan), 19-16: Whoa now! Ouya scores an upset on an 11-5 third round, which was highly questionable. Gadzhialiyev did lose the third round, but not 11-5. No way. Hard to even think of more to say about this one. Mind-blowing decision in that round.

Anthony Yigit (Sweden) def. Francisco Vargas (Puerto Rico), 13-9: Fairly evenly-matched, but Vargas just didn't land accurately enough, particularly in a strong opening round for Yigit. It was a pretty good fight to close out the round. Yigit now has to face 2011 World Amateur Championships silver medalist Denis Berinchyk, a potential gold winner this year.
