logged on at 5pm but I think the Ward fight must have been a bit earlier. The Algerian lad looking strong. Incodentally there were some dodgy decisions today. Real inconsistency in the judging still. Saw a guy throw way more punches than his opponent in light heavy and every single punch missed. The other guy lands clean hard punches but is more economic and ends up losing a ud.

Is there any way to actually watch the fights, RTE don't seem to be showing them even on the player, Gwan Ward always said that boy was robbed of any Olympic medal and i honestly think he will win gold in Rio
sometime it streams on the AIBA site, most times i cant get it. BBC will have it on the red button from(I think) the quarters.
Cheers mate will check the AIBA website they really should be showing it on RTE Player at least i mean we have several lads in the latter stages of the worlds
This is boxing, not cricket, league of Ireland, international rules or show-jumping. Understand.........................
Slight apology, RTE are covering the rest of the championship, but WEB ONLY. Check their website for details.
