    Gvozdyk's protest was denied. Still can't believe they signed with these AIBA assholes. Worst news ever.

    I hate AIBA. This won't be the last time they get screwed over by them.

    Anyone heard anything about Petrauskas' "loss" yesterday? Didn't they also file a protest?

    Haven't read anything. Who do you like for Val Barker? Mekhontsev, Sapiyev, Ramirez should be top considerations imo but i expect they'll hand it to Joshua disgrace that AIBA is.

    I know.... My pick would be Mekhontsev. He's already beaten three top contenders in explosive and action packed fights, where he has showcased technical skills and killer instinct. A perfect combination.

    John Joe Nevin could also be a contender.

    Anyone think there's an outside chance that with a very strong and dominant final match against Han (quite likely, actually) that Lomachenko could become the first ever 2-time Val Barker? :think

    Especially where he's about to be the face of AIBA Pro, wouldn't hurt to have that historic achievement heading into the new venture..

    Ireland square off against England tonight through combat. I hope the result will be a fair decision!

    Rau'shee "O and 3" Wárren will probably never shed that Olympic blemish, whatever he accomplishes as a pro :!:

    I can't believe I missed this the first time. Dissection is from Sweden, not Norway.

    W@rren should have turned pro after his first Olympics. He could have already won a title or two by now.

    Why is his name censored?

    He definately should have, cause although he has obvious flaws flyweight division is far from being one the strongest divisions. :yep
    Because of some promoter who's name should not be called upon.
