Tokyo Olympics Boxing LIVE – Satish Kumar vs Ricardo Brown LIVE: Kumar clinched his berth after beating Mongolian boxer Otgonbayer Daivii unanimously at the Asian Boxing Olympic Qualifiers in March this year. With qualification secured, Kumar will now aim to follow the footsteps of Vijender Singh and Mary Kom to take a spot at the podium and begins his quest with a round of 16 clashes against Jamaica’s Ricardo Brown. 

The pugilist from Bulandshahr in Uttar Pradesh has previously tasted success at the international level with a bronze medal at the 2014 Asian Games and the Silver at the 2018 Commonwealth Games but will be aiming to add another to his tally in his maiden Olympics appearance. While a podium finish might be too much to expect from the 32-year-old in his maiden Olympics, Kumar could well pull off a surprise or two, starting on Thursday. 

His opponent Brown himself is a history maker has become the first Jamaican to don the gloves since the 1996 Olympics. At 31, Brown is also an Olympic debutant and it promises to be a fascinating contest to watch as he and Satish Kumar go through the rounds in Tokyo.

Shelly-Ann Fraser Pryce & Ricardo Brown Will Be Flag Bearers for Jamaica Tokyo Olympics 2021

Jamaican boxer Ricardo Brown brimming with confidence ahead of Olympic debut

TOKYO, Japan — Though he doesn’t appear the meanest or cockiest boxer one would have been around, Ricardo “Big12” Brown is sending a clear message and unequivocal that he wants the super heavyweight boxing gold medal here at the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.

The 6”7’ Jamaican held his final workout Wednesday and told the Jamaica Observer that he’s ready for all comers and, anyone who gets in his way, he will just have to remove them to get what he wants – the gold medal.

“Tomorrow (today) is going to be a difficult fight but you can look for the win from me because I’m going out there to destroy (him) and I’m going out there to advance to my next round because I want to get this and I have to get this for Jamaica,” said Brown.

He fights Indian Kumar Satish at around 12:18 pm Thursday here (10:18 pm Wednesday, Jamaica time) at the Kokugikan arena.

“I need this so much until I don’t even know how to say it, but this is mine, I’m ready, physically ready and anyone comes (before me) I’m going to remove them from out of my way because this is mine,” he stressed.

The winner of the three-round bout advances to the quarter-finals, and Brown, though taking no chances, plans on being the aggressor and if the chance presents itself, plans to put the Indian to sleep.

“I look him up and I see how he fights, so I’m not really worried about him because I’m a boxer, I know how to box, so I want to go out there and box, unleash my right hand on him and if he slips I’m going to put him to sleep,” he said.

“I’m mentally prepared because right now my fitness level is up and I’ve been training so hard for this, so right now as you can see I’m here working out, my hand speed is better, so as I told you, anyone comes in my way I’m going to put them aside,” said the man who hails from Spanish Town, but now lives in Canada.

He said he has no anxiety, no nervousness.

“I’m ready. I’m never nervous,” he said.

Ricardo Brown loses opening bout at Olympics, eliminated

Tokyo Olympics 2021 Game Boxing

TOKYO, Japan- Jamaica’s Ricardo ‘Big 12’ Brown was eliminated in the preliminaries round of the men’s super-heavyweight 91 kg boxing competition at the Tokyo Olympics on Wednesday night (Jamaican time).

He lost on points by split decision against Satish Kumar of India at the Kokugikan Arena in Tokyo.

The big Jamaican failed to get off his power punches and was outwitted by the more experienced Indian who raced to a good lead in the first two rounds and then stayed away from his opponent’s big swings in the latter stages of the fight.

Despite getting a cut over his right eye in the second round, Kumar was able to see off Brown as neither man managed to get into a rhythm through the three rounds.

One of the five judges, Russia’s Yaroslav Renev scored two rounds – the second and third – 10 – 9 for Brown, but the Jamaican was also given just eight points for the first round by the Ugandan judge Antonio Stephen Aciga Fula.
