    Nice fight. Orie's defensive reflexes and consistent location with the jab made the difference.

    Split decision...

    WAIT WHAT!!!! THEY GAVE IT TO CHALOYAN?!?!?!?!?!

    You could score that either 30-27 or 29-28 for Orie. Wtf was that decision

    Cagey opener.

    Kunkabayev gets the first round on three of the five judges' cards.

    In anyone's book, I should think, save those batty judges'. :buitre:

    Chaloyan did alright but he was the clear loser there.

    Damn. Weaker bracket too. Orie definitely robbed of a solid chance of medalling.

    No wonder I'm not into amateur boxing. It's like the Eurovision song contest. Everyone votes against the Brits.

    Maybe another upset incoming! After two rounds, two judges have it for Ghadfa, two have a draw and one for Kunkabayev.
