http://www.yardbarker.com/boxing/players/raushee_warren/75460 Recent articles about Rau'shee Warren en-us The evening session of the seventh day of competition at the London 2012 Olympic Games saw the final eight bouts of second round of preliminaries for the Men's Flyweight (52kg) and Welterweight (69kg) categories. The atmosphere was red-hot with eight adrenaline fueled contests lighting up the ExCeL arena. Credit: AIBA USA Team captain and third seed Raushee Warren, now a three-time Olympian, got the Flyweight (52kg) action underway as he faced Nordine Oubaali from France. It was fast and furious straight from the off between the two electric southpaws. Trading punches throughout, these two talented boxers were not giving each other an inch. Two superb left hooks by the experienced Warren saw him edge the first round. Oubaali came back strong and went on the attack in the second. Although the American's slick counter-punches were doing damage early on, the Frenchman's jabs began penetrating his rival's defences. His hook also connected several times and Oubaali cla...

Flyweight Rau'shee Warren was looking to make a run to the medal stand, and Welterweight Errol Spence was looking to build on his strong first outing and continue advancing in the tournament. Things didn't turn out so well for them, and it will go down as the worst showing for the USA Olympic boxing team in history. First up on Friday afternoon for Team USA boxing was Rau'shee Warren. Warren is a three-time Olympian, a first ever for the United States in boxing, and was the team's strongest medal contender, coming off a first round by in the competition. He met France's Nordine Oubaali. Warren took a 9-6 lead after the first round, but seemed either to be complacent or sleepwalking in the second, allowing Oubaali to trim the margin to 1 point. The third se...

A capacity crowd at the ExCeL Arena welcomed the Flyweight (52kg) and Light Heavyweights (81kg) for ten bouts of high-octane drama. 2011 World Series of Boxing (WSB) Individual Championships finalist with Paris United, 25-year-old Nordine Oubaali of France began his assault on the Flyweight (52kg) title in style. The experienced recent AIBA European Olympic Qualifying Event winner came out of the blocks at double speed, firing all kind of shots in direction of the relatively unknown Ajmal Faisal of Afghanistan. Pummeling his rival throughout the three rounds, Oubaali was just unstoppable as he outclassed the three-time Afghan National Champion to win 22:9. The Frenchman faces USA Boxing Team Captain Raushee Warren, the third seed in the draw and a veteran of three Olympic Games. When interviewed, Oubaali stated, "I had a fantasti...

He proved it four years ago at Workers Gymnasium in Beijing when he didn't listen to his Olympic coaches encouraging him to attack South Korea's Lee Ok-sung in the final round. Warren danced and circled with his hands at his waist in the final seconds of a one-point loss, weeping when he finally realized he had lost his opening bout in his second straight Olympics. Three months after that defeat, Warren again proved his independence when he decided to become the first three-time Olympian in U.S. boxing history. ''I feel like in boxing, your mind has to be strong,'' Warren said. ''If you have a weak mind, you'll let the outside distract you, because in the Olympics, there's a lot of pressure. People are telling you to do this or this, and there's a lot on your back. So mentally, you have to block that stuff out to get to what you want to achieve.''

However, at the Olympics, it is just the fistic talent of the Republic of Ireland that counts, and that little island country is enjoying a run of good talent. In 2008, they brought home two bronzes and a silver, and that ain't bad considering Ireland's modest population of only 6.3 million and the scoring scandals suffered in Beijing. Not all of 2008's medal winners are making a return, and ironically, the Irish team might even be stronger for it. That is hardly the only reason to watch, however. Whenever Ireland challenges the UK in sports, the event is a noteworthy clash of neighbors and rivals. The Ireland vs. UK matches were some of the most exciting produced by the Beijing Games, and this year any such encounter would take place in London, on Bri...

"I'm ready to put on a good performance for my city," said Broner.  "I'm treating this like it's just a...
