Esquiva Falcão

At 34 years old, Esquiva Falcão has this physical status:

He became famous in his amateur years by winning the Middleweight bronze medal at the 2011 World Amateur Boxing Championships losing his semi to Ryōta Murata. He hereby qualified for the 2012 Olympics, where he won the silver medal, becoming the first Brazilian to reach an Olympic boxing final after defeating Soltan Migitinov, Zoltán Harcsa and local hero Anthony Ogogo.

His name is literally Portuguese for "dodge\slip", as his amateur boxer father wanted to circumvent the prohibition given for coach instructions during the fight, and guide his son simply by shouting his name.
