Oi, John Joe Nevin is playing matador with a Mexican in the bantamweight quarterfinals. He is probably about to place for at minimum a bronze.

Well, the Mexican was robbed. What else is new?

Don't know he was robbed per se, but maybe prevented from getting the clock-beating stoppage when the ref stepped in for a pedantic warning to Nevin while he was getting knocked about (having suffered a knockdown from a big left rip to the body with a minute to go and never quite recovering)

How was he robbed? Nevin racked up the points by outboxing him. A knockdown isn't worth any more than any other single shot under the amateur scoring system.

This

Don't know how the first was scored 5-5 when Nevin clearly won that as well. Irrelevant now anyway. Congrats

Robbed? You for real? Nevin cleary outboxed and was certainly up at the end of the first.. dont know how the refs scored that even! Do you even know what 'robbed' means?

Yes, for real, the Irish did nothing but running.

In the last 50 seconds.

For two rounds and change he was boxing effectively from the outside, not running.

I'm American and was rooting for Valdez Fierro by the end, but it was a fair result.

nevin boxed the lugs of fierro for 2 1/2 rds then got winded by a good body shot... but still manage 2 score any of the scoring shots after that

And scoring points. Do you know how amateur Boxing works??

JJ Nevin is the fuckin man. Boxed very well. And for the cunt above that says the Mexican was robbed, you're a fuckin clown and fuck off.

John Joe improving in every fight. I can't wait for the Cuban fight.
I couldn't believe the score after the first round, what were they watching
