Super heavyweight: Alexander Povetkin (Russia) walkover Mohamed Aly (Egypt) The Olympic boxing competition ended on an anticlimactic note when Russia’s Alexander Povetkin was awarded the super heavyweight gold medal without having to throw a single punch. Povetkin won Russia’s third boxing gold of the Athens games when Mohamed Aly of Egypt elected to retire with a hand injury rather then take advantage of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to win a gold medal. There will be no more comparisons to the great Muhammad Ali for the Egyptian silver medalist. The two men share a name but not the same heart: Ali was a 1960 gold medalist under the name Cassius Clay who overcame mid-fight vision problems to defeat Sonny Liston for the heavyweight title in 1964. Bronze medals: Roberto Camarelle (Italy), Michael Lopez (Cuba)
