The Rise of Uzbek Warriors: The Future of Boxing

[@BoxingLife]

Which Uzbek boxer impressed you the most at the Olympics, and who do you think will be most successful in the pros?

[@BoltaBekOzbek]

Yes, Jackson wasn’t just American; he was a Black Jewish American. 😊 We still remember him fondly in Uzbekistan. It’s sad that he was never able to return to his homeland in the USA, but he established the Uzbek boxing school. I hope he can see from heaven how successful his legacy has become.

For those wondering why an Uzbek boxer is named "Israil" (Israel), the name "Israil" in Uzbek literally translates to "Israel." Many Uzbeks have this name, but it has no connection to the modern state of Israel. In Islam, Israil refers to the prophet Jacob (known as Yaqub in Uzbek), and the name has been popular since our ancestors embraced Islam. Similarly, many Uzbeks are named Musa and Isa, which means Moses and Jesus.

[@ericktellez7632]

Disagree, it was the weight that had more impact, Crawford was not able to fully dominate a man that was clearly at the same physical size as him, Crawford at 147 was coming in at nearly 160 pounds after rehydration, now that he is at his 4th weight, the size advantage is gone, had it been at 147 I don’t see madrimov beating Crawford or being a thougher fight.

There he won the silver medal in the middleweight division (- 75 kg). In the final he was defeated by United States youngster Michael Spinks, after the referee had to stop the contest in the third round.

ALso the one who fought Matias, at Sueer lightweight, started out strong, but got stopped in about 8. Matias then went on to lose to the Australian.

Uzbeks had many tribes, and only minority of them were nomads. Others lived in cities like Samarkand, Bukhara, Tashkent, Khiva

[@BoltaBekOzbek]

Modern Uzbeks trace their ancestry to three branches of Turkic people: the Karluks, Oguz, and Kipchaks. Originally, all of these groups were nomadic. The Karluks settled in the 7th century after embracing Islam, while the Oguz became settled later, between the 9th and 10th centuries, with many migrating to what is now Turkey. The Kipchaks adopted Islam in the 15th century and remained largely nomadic until the 20th century. However, the Kipchaks who became part of the modern Uzbek nation settled earlier due to intermixing with the Karluks and Oguzs.

Olympic boxing is such a joke. Its all about appealing to the point system, the fights are soft and boring.

Of the olympic boxing specialists, very few if any at all will make it in real boxing because they would get rocked shitless into another dimension. The points appeal system they run at the olympics should quite honestly be considered another sport. It is an embarrassment to boxing and it cheapens the amount of risk, heart, and soul that goes into the peak version of the sport. This is not a shot at the uzbeks, I love some of their actual pros.
