    This is what 3 round Olympic fights are all about. Split the first two, and going ***** out for a shot at a medal in the last round.

    I think the Uzbek gutted it out, though Abdullaev was sharper and tidier.

    Damn, missed the Russo-Tischenko fight, how close was it?

    Was Russo up to his old tricks again, grabbing and stalling? I remember they had a pretty close fight for the gold a few years ago.

    Anyone know if there are any sites that put up clips or videos of the matches? I remember the official 2012 site had them, but so far I can't find anything from Rio.

    La Cruz is a special talent.

    I think he could win a title if he turned pro.

    De la Cruz is so talented he is dominating one of the strongest divisions in amateur boxing with ease. He is so good he makes even the best look hopeless

    He's one of the most talented amateurs I've ever seen.

    Granted, I've only been watching amateur boxing for about 3 years, but I know talent when I see it. And De La Cruz has bags of it.
