    Impressed by their skills and ability however there fitness isnt there for some reason and they are a bit pitter-patter instead of planting their shots.

    Alot better than i thought they would've been tbh
     
  4. I'm going to be honest here, our women have impressed me a lot more than our me.n

    Sav Marshall got robbed

    Jonas was unlucky to get Taylor but fought her heart out

    Adams is a little pocket beastie, hope she gets gold

    Average.

    Savon, and that other Cuban who beat Selby have been the only people who i have thought looked decent.

    Even though i am supporter of Anthony Ogogo, and he will be a exciting star. He's not really on the same talent level of David Haye or even Amir Khan.

    Audley Harrison in the 2000 Olympics, would of wiped the floor with Anthony Joshua.

    Pretty meh, they are good amateurs, but do I really care about amateur boxing? I can't help but watch them and wonder if they have pro world champion potential, which is maybe asking too much, but the answer is no anyway.

    Lomachenko, Ramires, Savon, and Petrauskas are the exciting prospects for me.

    Very good. Jonas will win a medal in Rio she was unluck to draw Taylor.
    I think Ogogo should stay amateur. Joshua proably won't resist the temptation even though he is young enough to go to rio and STILL turn pro later in life.
    Campbell is great. Exciting to watch. I'd say al in all half of them will turn po though.
    Remember in Rio there will be a new scoring system.
