Olympic Light Heavyweights: They Go To Two Tie-Breakers Before Mekhontcev Wins

14

Egor Mekhontcev of Russia won a light heavyweight Olympic final that was about as close as it could possibly get on Sunday, not getting the decision until the second tie-breaker over Adilbek Niyazymbetov of Kazakhstan at the ExCel Arena in London.

At the end of three rounds, the score was knotted up at 15, and as is the custom, the bout went to a “countback” system, in which punches that may not have counted in the original judging formula were now factored in. Even after that particular exercise, there was no winner decided. So then there was a further tie-breaker, which included a simple vote of the judges on who the winner was. This is where Mekhontcev finally got the verdict.

Mekhontcev is an oddity, in that he has previously competed on the international level as a heavyweight, and actually moved down in weight. In 2009 he won the gold medal as a heavyweight at the World Amateur Championships, beating the two heavyweight finalists from this year’s Olympics (Clemente Russo and Oleksandr Usyk) and won the European Amateur Championship twice as a heavy. But in 2011 he competed at the World Championships as a light heavyweight (81 kg) competitor and won the bronze medal. Coming into the Olympics, he had been the #9-ranked light heavy in the world by AIBA. Niyazymbetov was rated two spots higher.

The tournament started out very well for Mekhontcev as he laid a very decisive defeat on Australian medal hopeful Damien Hooper by a score of 19-11. He then beat Elshod Rasulov of Uzbekistan 19-15, and then had an extremely impressive 23-11 victory over Brazil’s Yamaguchi Falcao Florentino to reach the gold medal match.

    I really love how maybelline is coming up with its so many good products here in India, the only thing I hope that they should come up with decent amount of shade selections like they do internationally. Ok, so without any further ado, lets read the review of this Skin fit powder Foundation from Maybelline.

    Basic Eye Brush Set Oversized powder brushes are usually the first option that comes to mind, but bigger isn’t always better. Targeted product application can be as effective, especially for those who prefer to keep their complexions dewy.“More often than not, I find myself using a large eyeshadow brush to set makeup with,” says Hughes. “Under the eyes, around the nose, around the mouth, it works beautifully and gives me the utmost precision. The bigger brushes serve a purpose, but I’ve found that you can do more with the smaller ones.” The Best Of Sigma Brush Set comes with seven brushes for $92. That breaks down to about $13 per brush. According to the site, you’ll save $32 when you buy in bulk. That sounds like a pretty great deal to me. Especially if you’re looking to start or add to your brush set with some great staple tools.
