    :good I should know this. Wouldn't you be better off stepping back if you hurt your opponent and try and land more shots rather than dropping them unless you thought you could stop them.

    That's **** isn't it? They should just have the two losing semi-finalists box each other to decide who gets the spot.

    The Good news for Nolan, Ogogo and Smith is that they aren't facing turkish boxers in the olympic semi final shootouts. Every Turkish boxer is still on course to qualify despite the fact they had no one qualify from the worlds. Something a bit fishy there.
