It's not often that we include amateur fights on here but some times we think it's necessary and in the case of Zhang Zhilei it seems to make sense to include one of his amateur bouts prior to his professional debut. This bout was from the 2008 Olympics in Zhilei's native China and saw the Chinese fighter looking some what promising and calm under the pressure of carrying his countries flag. Sadly however it's misleading to read too much into this fight considering how poor Mohamed Amanissi was. Despite the limitations of the Moroccan Zhilei did show some very likeable traits including a nice variety of shots, with some lovely body shots. Zhilei later went on to win a Silver medal at the games losing in the final to the genuinely exceptional Roberto Cammarelle. Whilst the fight wasn't great we do need to give a huge amount of credit to Jim Neely who came out with some great lines in commentary despite showing utter disdain for the contest he was watching.
