    An Angolan boxing coach, thought to be former world champion Chris Eubank, was deemed a "plonker" by the head of the country's Olympic team after failing to bring their only fighter to a weigh-in led to his disqualification in a sea of tears. Heavyweight Tumba Silva, 26, a protégé of Eubank's Angolan academy, was disqualified from his first round bout against 2008 Olympic silver medallist Clemente Russo of Italy on Wednesday after he missed the mandatory morning weigh-in.
    "That plonker of a coach, for he has no other name, failed to go to the technical meeting or the athlete's weigh-in, between eight and nine in the morning," Antonio Monteiro, head of the Angolan Olympic team, told Portuguese sports daily A Bola on Thursday.
    "The athlete was inconsolable, he cried like a child. The coach was such a plonker that I had to give the athlete the news myself. He cried so much that I myself could not speak.
    "Tumba had put practically his whole life into this fight. Win or lose, he wanted this to be a mark for him."

    Who thought the Coach was Chris Eubank and what relevance does that piece of information have..?

    This is a pretty confusing article.

    No apology has yet been forthcoming – “sorry”, with the possible exception of “sausages”, appearing to be the hardest word for Eubank.

    :lol:

    His Range Rover actually. I believe that was another reason for lack of KO's.

    It was his Range Rover and it was another reason for lack of wanting to KO opponents, with it happening not long after nearly killing a man in the ring with a punch - he isn't a robot.
