This is looking like it's going the distance. Hatton on top, but not able to pin down Malignaggi who is fighting very cautiously.
He'll be exciting, but his defensive skills are woeful and he telegraphs his punches. Unless he improves drastically, he will have his ears boxed...
He was winning quite comfortably and got caught by a big punch. That **** happens in boxing. Vera has an excellent chin and a pretty good punch,...
Holy ****, Vera has an incredible chin. No defence at all, but one hell of a beard. In fact his chin is too good for his own good.

Egan should beat Jeffries. He's the most technically skilled boxer in the division and he beat him before fairly easily. It's no sure thing, but...
While I can't disagree with your basic argument, I think you'll find that there are three Irish boxers still in medal contention. Two of them are...
That's because it *is* a different sport.
In fact Britain has one boxer guaranteed at least a bronze, and with a good chance of better, and two boxers still in the quarter finals. That's...
Rau'shee lost through sheer stupidity. His own or his corners, I don't know. That's pretty galling for anyone who wanted him to win a medal, but...
