    That was complete bull****.

    The 2nd ought to have been wide for Spence, and he dug deep and earned the third (although it still should have been close, maybe swapping the scores around)

    Spence clearly deserved that as the Indian guy was ****ed last round. He did a good job of completely spoiling and made it therefore very difficult to get hit by clean shots and that's why he won.

    My wife's jaw dropped when they read it for Vikas.

    Heartbreaking seeing him lift his arms expectantly when the scores were read and then have them fall limp as realization dawned..

    And then seeing the kid try not to cry. :|

    Nolan isn't quite as impressive - not as aggressive or powerful - as his diminutive countryman Conlan...

    Still faring OK, though.

    Nolan is falling short too much and getting countered, needs to close the distance better....

    What is a disgrace is that GB had the nerves to investigate about olympic boxing corruption in Baku last year, because they felt that even though their superhvw prospect got stunned (after very good previous bouts and a nice start against local Medzikhov) multiple times and was arguably outlanded in the last two rounds, he someway should have gotten the nod.

    And then, we get this...

    My initial ideal final fight was Shelestyuk - Zamkoyov, not sure if their paths won't cross by then though.

    What the **** is Nolan doing with his hands? Looks like he's getting his groove on.
