    The British never conquered Cuba...and they never will.

    I think we may well be looking at the Val Barker Trophy winner..light heavy was sizzling and these two both had a lot of talent to contend with on their side of the draw.

    Arlen was the best of the lot and looked damn good doing it.

    Whitaker has apparently signed to AJs management and will turn pro with Matchroom. Clarke will likely do the same

    I don’t think Clarke will have much success.

    The size and length of Jalolov will make it very difficult for him to get in range but it'll be interesting to see if he's improved enough to overcome it or at least deal with it better.

    Completely agree. Would take the Usyk route with him and win a world title or two at cruiser before eventually going up to heavy.

    Shame I wanted to see Jalolov vs Kunkabayev VIII, very good win by Torrez, but it will be a huge task to beat Jalolov.

    Yeah hope he makes some good money as a pro, he seems like a nice guy. I don't think he'll be a top guy, too unrefined and easy to hit but with the current British boom in boxing there's plenty of money to be made for an exciting British heavy who's fun to watch even if they don't win every fight.

    I've seen him dropped a few times but he stood up to some big shots from Jalolov today which I wasn't sure he could and he's a big old lump and he can crack so he should do reasonably well.

    Hoping Carlo Paalam or Marcial can snag a Gold or Silver but it's a tough ask. Team Philippines.Not a bad result this Olympics. A gold and silver with bronze. The trifecta lol.

    Whitaker is going to tear it up as a professional. He boxed beautifully there and is very highly rated by everyone who works with him.

    Lots of people are tipping him to win world titles and at 24 it’s a good age to turn over.

    Catching up on session 21 now, have avoided spoilers all morning since I woke up.

    Of course I'm skipping ahead to just the men's stuff. :oops: Misogynistic, perhaps, but...not sorry.
