    Yafai got beat
    Mcgrail got knocked out by Ramirez
    Smith got beat
    Williamson got stopped by Lopez
    And okolie got knocked out in 1 round by savon

    Ali lost a split decision to veitia
    Mccocmack lost to Toledo
    Iglesias got a stoppage

    And only light heavy and super heavy to go

    De ma Cruz won at light heavy 50-41 across the board, made a fool of the Brit

    Clarke us supposed to be doing well so far though, might not be a whitewash

    Sound nice man

    Okolie getting ko'ed in the first round doesn't look good

    Also Ramirez back on form doesn't look good for conlan ahead of the olympics

    Seriously we done well but we were never going to beat Cuba though
    Conlan is in for it by the looks of it but stranger things have happened

    Ya true but losing 4 knock outs doesn't look very good

    On the bright side Frazer clarke just koed the Cuban going to the Olympics with a body shot, he is a serious talent

    I don't get the surprise? Cuba are a totally different level in this format.

    Crazy that Erslandy Savon is fighting a heavy. He beat Joshua at the Olympics he must be a shoe in for Olympic gold at Heavy. Bet Joyce is glad he's not at Super Heavy

    i wouldn't call him a show in him ,Tishchenko and Levit are my three favourties . Okolie was getting way to much hype without facing the top dogs.

    savon is lucky to be even going to these olympics, Frankie Sanchez the cuban second choice beat him at this year nationals

    No gold for team GB by your reckoning then Murph? Who do you think has the strongest chance of medaling from the GB squad?
