    What a ridiculous sweeping statement. Some fighters might have deserved to lose, some were involved in close fights. But its pathetic to say the whole squad has benefited from robberies.

    he was up against a better opponent tonight though. Still didn't think he did too bad will have to improve though to beat the Cuban.

    Allright lads need everyones oppinion on this. the two cubans alvarez estrada (bantem) & iglesias solotongo (light welter) are the clear favs in thier respective divisions but can thier main rivals nevin, campbell, (bantem) stalker, berinchyk (light welter) really cause any threat ?

    thinking about putting on a hail mary type accy with zou, carrazana, estrada, lomachenko, solotongo, dychko, and katie taylor all to win gold it will work out at about 200/1 and i plan on putting a 100 on it.

    im fairly confident all will win gold "bar more robberies ofcourse" but estrada and solotongo are a bit of a worry. what you's think about these two's chances of winning gold ?

    That was absolutely ridiculous.

    Firstly evans should have been way more than 2 in front after round 2! No ****ing way did he lose that 6-3. Secondly, with the score WRONGLY 10-8 at the start of r3, the Canadian easily won the last round by more than 2! A double **** up.

    Overall I think fred won by 2 points or so, so at least the right man won

    I keep falling for the idiots on here...

    Some of them were saying Joshua is on the same level as Tom Dallas yesterday.

    Problem they have is that they need to pick out examples of fred cheating or fouling which wasn't picked up on. This didn't happen so I'm sure it'll be turned down. But its worth a shot. He won the last round by more than 2 that's for sure

    one of those bets that looks good on paper but theres a lot of fighters there, ones bound to have an off day or come out on the wrong end of a bad decision. maybe do £50 on the five your most confident on and then £50 on all seven. Now that you've mentioned it though you have to stick something on it.

    From what I've seen so far Alvarez would be a riskier bet than Sotolongo. Nevin has looked good so it's no given that he gets past him, and if Campbell gets to the final you'd have to think he'll have the judges benefit. For Sotolongo neither Stalker or Berinchyk have looked their best, but that weight class hasn't had their quarters yet so it could all change.
