    Amzile has strange arms. Shoulder to elbow is extremely long. Forearms are quite short. Come on Amzile, take this final round.

    Josh Kelly looked a fool fighting with no guard against the no1 ranked boxer, got what he deserved. Commentators need to stop ass kissing

    Yeleussinov should've coasted rather than exert himself in the final round, he was beating Kelly badly anyway. This is what a lot of elite boxers are not doing. There's a reason why Lomachenko was invincible as an amateur - this is a part of the reason why....he knows how to conserve energy.

    Best off turning the sound off when a British guy is in there.

    I agree, he looks best when he has his hands up and then let's punches go in a more traditional style.

    Kelly hasn't got the lateral movement or smooth enough footwork to pull that hands down style off.

    Niyazymbetov - the Silver medalist (all the time). I don't think he'll make Silver anymore.

    Just realised actually that Niyazmbetov has a good shot at silver!
    He would have to beat Mammadov and Buatsi/Benchabla.
