M - lunch, TCA, 90 min. Mainly trying the black in the roof, wasn't feeling great but scraped up it in the end. Bit of a half arsed session tbh. 12 hr night shift.
T - thought I could fit in an hour between errands and work, only managed 40 min. 4 whites, 1 black, flashed 3 of the whites. 12 hr night shift.
W - 12 hr night shift.
T - 12 hr night shift.
F - 4 hrs sleep, then aft Perch Quarry, repeated 2 of the 6a+'s from last week, then a bouldery 7b, The (Tear) Jerk 2nd go, cool move but nasty hold, and another nice easy, Back Against The Wall 6a+. Then 4 hrs sleep (ugh)
S  - Cheddar, Lion Rock. Back on Lions Pride. Sleep deprived but well rested. Humid and threatening thunderstorms all day, the first of which materialised during my first RP of the day, soaking the top arete, annoying as I got there feeling ok. Dried off quick though. 2nd go fumbled a relatively easy drop in to a side pull between the undercuts and the arete, pissed off as thought that might be it for the day, especially as the rain seemed to come in more persistently. Waited it out and got one more go, def more tired but fought through to put it to bed. Crown to celebrate.
S - aft, run, 6k, hilly, trail, 28 min. Hoooooot.

71.5 kg

You can put him in the conversation for the greatest boxer of all time, I’m not sure you can categorically call that yet.

I'm not sure he's the great at present, let alone all time.  I think Naoya Inoue has been undisputed in two weight classes and had multiple belts in two others.  I'm admittedly not hugely familiar with the level of competition in the lower weight classes, but he certainly passes the eye test - lots of savage KOs (e.g. Nery a few weeks ago).

The last proper opportunity to qualify is the Olympic Qualifier Series, in Shanghai and Budapest. From these comps, the top scoring athletes (by a points system I won't bore you with) qualify for Paris.

Mens results:

Combined with the Budapest round in a month, top 10 will go to Paris. Shame Ondra didn't get a couple of holds further on the lead route, he had a big advantage from boulder.

Yes 20 into semis, 10 Olympic places available overall from the 2 events combined, so maybe that’s what it’s showing as a cut off?

So top 5 from each event? Or do they add the scores from both events and then top 10 go to Paris? Sorry if this is obvious somewhere.

Mamma mia!!!
What a fight!!!
They both delivered, boxing at its finest. Turns out Usyk hits like a hammer.
So happy for him.

Undisputed in two weight divisions, undefeated in both divisions.

Olympic gold medalist. Retired from amateur boxing with a record of 335−15.

He is the greatest boxer of all time.

What a fight that was. Proper classic. The right decision for me, I thought Usyk had won by 2 but was very concerned Fury was going to get the nod once I saw it was a split. The knockdown won it for him.  :boxing:
