    decent stuff so far. Fair play to Frampton he won that one handily enough. good performance. Egan looks like he's still hungover, he'll be a lot sharper in a while.

    I'm worried about Bernard ahead of next month. He looks to have come down too much in the weights too early

    Agreed, a guy who can punch like that has no place in the amateurs. He should turn pro with his da:deal

    pity about reynolds..he did well though..just was outworked in the last round..and the cut had him flustered...was surprised he was looking at the corner so much in the last...
    anyway...reynolds has a lot to look back on and be proud of...3 years out and still make that final..

    and...mercedas taffe got a shoutout on the telly :)...good girl !!

    Doug man, I thought he was robbed. He was looking at his corner to know how the scoring was going. His body punching wasn't scoring at all. Its a joke the way they score amateur boxing:verysad

    i thought that going into the third, that his body shots werent counted...but the third he lost for sure though....
    you're right about the body shots not being counted.

    one think i dont like about the amatuers is the headgear...i think it's dangerous...how many times tonight was headgear falling down and boxers using both hands to push it back up...could get hit and not see it coming through no fault of the boxer..

    I hear from taaf that Alan had a chest complaint for the past week...? may have been a deciding factor? happens!

    Computer scoring is suspect to say the least, I hate it!
