    Anyone have a schedule for this? Would like to watch a bit of it but don't know what times the British and Irish lads are fighting. Also, for those into their am boxing, any non-Brit/Irish prospects to look out for? The Eastern Euros are producing a lot of top fighters nowadays.

    51kg: Khalid Yafai beat Armenian Derenik Gizhlaryan. 9-1

    A fantastic display of discipline and controlled and precise boxing saw Khalid Yafai dominate the Armenian. Kal went behind early on but stayed calm, scoring points in each round with clean accurate shots. First guaranteed bronze medal in the bag, and a semi final bout for the Brummie.

    57kg: Iain Weaver beat Oualid Belaoura (France) 12-7

    Iain stormed to a 3-0 lead in his quarter final, only to be pegged back to 3-2 by a combination from the Frenchman. A lively second round saw Weaver go into the last with a 7-5 lead. The last round was a battle at times, but with Iain striking cleanly again, the bout was won. Iain is through to the semis and guaranteed a bronze.

    81kg: Obed Mbwakongo lost to Abdelkader Bouhenia (France) 11-9

    After another active opening round, Obed trailed by a point, 4-3. The second saw more frantic action with Obed and the Frenchman trading blows with scores poised at 7-7 going into the last. Despite a valiant effort from Obed, it wasn't to be and his opponent picked up a couple of points more to go through to the semis.
