Rio de Janeiro will host some of the world’s best boxers in both the men’s and women’s divisions. Team USA has seen mixed results in recent years; middleweight Claressa Shields took home gold in 2012 in London, but an American male hasn’t won gold since Andre Ward did so in Athens in 2004. The boxers are spread among 13 weight classes (10 for men, three for women) and will fight over 16 days, starting Saturday, Aug. 6.
Here’s how and when to follow all the action. Live stream NBCOlympics.com

Another big change for Rio is the scoring system, which is no longer based on punch-counting. Fighters will be judged on the 10-point must system traditionally used in pro boxing, with the decision of each judge reduced to a single number. The final scores in the fights will be announced as 3-0 or 2-1. Unlike the headgear change, the move away from reviled punch-scoring has been greeted with broad approval. Still, it probably won't stop more than half of the losing fighters from claiming they were robbed, just as they do in every Olympic-style boxing tournament.

Only a trio of traditional pros will compete for gold medals, and only hardcore boxing fans have ever heard of them: Cameroon's Hassan N'Dam, Thailand's Amnat Ruenroeng and Italy's Carmine Tommasone.

Balderas Jr. Advances in Session 1 at Rio Olympics
by Jake Donovan
By Shawn Smith

With only one American boxer fighting in Sessions 1, Carlos Zenon Balderas Jr. did what was needed to take a 29-28 decision over Kazakstan’s Berik Abdrakhmanov in the opening round of the men’s lightweight (60kg.) division at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.

After losing the first round on two of the three scorecards, Balderas bounced back in the second and third rounds to dominate the latter half of the fight, using his hand speed to trouble his Kazak opponent.

In the second round, Balderas will take on Japan’s Daisuke Narimatsu. The Japanese fighter defeated Venezuela’s Luis Cabrera in Session 1 to advance.
Balderas Jr’s next fight will take place on August 9.

Streaming: NBC will be live-streaming every single athletic event at this year’s Olympics, which means 4,500 total hours of content on NBCOlympics.com or through the NBC Sports app. Roughly 85% of viewers are expected to watch some of NBC’s coverage via a “second-screen” (aka mobile) device, according to WalletHub, and NBC said this will be the first year that viewers will be able to watch the network’s coverage through a connected TVs, including Apple TV, Google’s Chromecast, Roku, and Amazon Fire devices. NBC is expected to draw a pretty sizable digital audience this year, as more and more people stream live content, and those high expectations are evident in the fact that the network’s digital ad sales are up 33% over the 2012 Summer Olympics. (Viewers watching online or through the NBC app will need to enter login credentials for their cable provider.)

Streaming for Cord-cutters: There are several ways to watch the Olympics without cable, including a subscription to the Dish Network’s Sling TV service, which streams most major NBCUniversal channels carrying Olympics coverage as part of its $25-per-month package. Another option is Sony’s Playstation Vue, which also streams various NBC channels and has subscription packages starting at $30 per month. Additionally, Playstation Vue subscribers can use their login credentials for that service to access the NBC Sports app and stream the Olympics on mobile devices, as well. Both Sling TV and Playstation Vue also have seven-day free trials, but that would only cover you for half of the Olympics. (Note: NBC’s network feed is only available to Sling TV and Playstation Vue customers in “select markets.”)

Of course, if you’re a cord-cutter who doesn’t want to pay for a fancy subscription streaming package, there’s always an even cheaper, though not quite as fruitful, option: get a digital antenna. You can watch more than 260 hours of Olympics coverage on the flagship NBC broadcast channel for free with an antenna in most U.S. locations and the antenna itself can cost as little as roughly $10. (Meanwhile, if you really want to skimp, some sites are also offering tutorials on how to use a VPN, or virtual private network, to cut out NBC and access free livestreams from other countries.)

Virtual Reality: Want to feel like you’re actually at the Rio Olympics without the cost of a plane ticket to Brazil (or the risk of contracting the Zika virus)? NBC has you covered in the form of a partnership with Samsung that will allow users of the NBC Sports app, who also have a Samsung Gear VR as well as a Samsung Galaxy smartphone, to access more than 100 hours of virtual reality programming. That VR content will include coverage of the opening and closing ceremonies, as well as certain men’s basketball, gymnastics, track and field, beach volleyball, diving, boxing, and fencing events.
