Olympic Boxing 2016: Medal Winners, Scores and Sunday's Results

Chris RolingAug 14, 2016

Boxing took center stage at the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday, with officials handing out two bronze medals in the lightweight division, as well as a coveted gold in the flyweight division.

In the flyweight final, Colombia's Yurberjen Herney Martinez couldn't keep the feel-good story alive, falling at the hands of eventual gold medalist Hasanboy Dusmatov of Uzbekistan.

In the first semifinal in the lightweight division,ย Lazaro Alvarez stunningly settled for bronze against Robson Conceicao. Later Sunday afternoon, Mongolia's Otgondalai Dorjnyambuu couldn't figure out the defensive posture of France's Sofiane Oumiha and had to settle for bronze.

Conceicao assured the host country of Brazil a medal in boxing after his quarterfinal dismissal of Uzbekistan's Hurshid Tojibaev.

He entered Sunday as arguably his country's best shot at a gold medal in the sport. He also entered as one of Rio's top stories. Conceicao described his struggles to get proper equipment when he was younger to Boxing News' John Dennen before the semifinals.

โ€œI went to the hospital and faked that I had an arm injury," Conceicao said.ย "The nurses covered my arm with bandages and then I used those bandages to tape my hands for training and sparring. My friend used to put flip-flops on both of his hands for me to punch when we trained."

Alvarez jumped out to an early lead in Round 1, scoring a 10 from two judges and performing as expected of the favorite, shunning Conceicao's advances and outpointing him.

The tide shifted in Round 2, though, with Conceicao looking comfortable in front of his supportive home crowd, securing a 10 on all three scorecards by simply improving his footwork and aggressiveness.

Conceicao then put on an epic flurry to finish the bout after a stoppage, according to the Associated Press' Greg Beacham:

Yahoo Sports' Chris Mannix detailed the emotions in the ring after the upset:

The late flurry was enough to give the crowd favorite a win on two scorecards in the final round, meaning Conceicao will advance to fight for his country's first Olympic boxing gold medal Tuesday.

Dusmatov entered Sundayโ€™s bout after a dominating win against Nico Hernandez of the United States, the guy who knocked off No. 2 seed Vasily Egorov of Russia. He looked to keep the momentum alive against Martinez, the Cinderella story after he knocked off Cubaโ€™s Joahnys Argilagos, who entered the tournament as a front-runner for gold.

Both entered confident, with Martinez arguably having more on the line as the first from Colombia to win silver or gold since 1988.

Dusmatov, the southpaw, took Round 1 with a 10-9 advantage on all three cards, pitching an assault on the underdog that had the second-round tally also at 10-9.

Martinez put up a better fight in the third round, hence his only 10 on the day, but even his own Colombian supporters had to offer kudos to Dusmatov, per Beacham:

Unlike Conceicao earlier in the day, Martinez just didn't have enough to survive a barrage and come back with enough to force an upset. Still, he can take solace in securing one of the top two spots on the podium for his country in almost three decades.

For Dusmatov, it's a fitting end to a great journeyโ€”a dominant one capped off with a routine show of force. It also gave Uzbekistan its first gold medal of the games.

Men's Light (60kg) Semifinal 2: Sofiane Oumiha def. Otgondalai Dorjnyambuu

The final fight of the day was an aggressive one as expected. After moving past Reda Benbaziz in the quarterfinals, Dorjnyambuu came firing out of the gates from the center of the ring.

Oumiha, who beat Albert Selimov in the quarterfinals, looked calm despite staying on the defensive in the first round against Dorjnyambuuโ€”it was almost a mirror image of his bout with Selimov.

Like his last bout, Oumiha weathered the storm and had little issues landing counterpunches in Round 2, taking it with ease while working counters to his opponent's head. It was the same story in Round 3, even though Dorjnyambuu pushed down on the accelerator because he could sense the deficit growing.

Dorjnyambuu simply didn't have an answer for Oumiha's evasion-riddled style and had to settle for bronze. For the French superstar, it's on to the gold-medal match Tuesday against Brazil's Conceicao in front of what should be a raucous crowd.
