In one division, the consensus gold medalist in waiting looks to be on the right path but could have a challenge or two ahead (lightweight), another division looks wide open (middleweight) and another division probably got itself a new favorite for gold.Every winner Monday is a newly-minted medalist, at minimum, just like the crew on Sunday and in the two days ahead.(Soonchul Han, left, after defeating Fazliddin Gaibnazarov; photo via the Olympics website)P.S. If you thought CNBC was going to carry this on delay, you weren't alone. But they didn't. If you're a big boxing fan, hope you have access to a stream from here on out.
