Tammara Thibeault, Canadian middleweight, has her first Olympic bout tonight. That’s got to be an anxious time for many boxers, but when Tamm steps into the ring, it's usually kind of a zen experience. Just before the opening bell, no matter what her opponent is up to, Tammara finds herself calm, focussed, knowing her business. When people call it the sweet science- that’s a euphemism, but not Thibeault. She‘s a fan of what she calls ‘pretty boxing’. Thibeault is a mover, a technical fighter, and she’s got a wicked jab. There’s a dance happening when she’s on her game. Of course, it takes two to tangle, and tonight’s dance card sees Tamm facing Nadezhda Ryabets, of the mighty Kazakh Boxing team. But as Thibeault tells Anastasia, she does her homework before every bout. She knows who she’s up against, she’s got a battle plan, and a realistic outlook. “It’s not tennis, right?” Tamm Takes a beat before delivering the closer. “Somebody’s going to get beaten up.”
