    Egan is a brilliant fighter, hopefully the judges will cop the hell on and score it fairly. None of this "home fighter favouritism". As long as his defence is up to its usual standard he can win by enough to get the judges on his side. Get ready for an angry chinese crowd!!!

    Some dodgy scoring there, especially in the last round.

    Twice I thought Kenny had scored and twice a point was added to the Chinese score.

    Close bout.

    Absolutely disgusting that they could ruin a man's dreams like that. I really feel for Egan. He didn't stand a chance of winning unless he knocked the guy out. Shocking! :nono
    :good

    disgraceful scoring,kenny should have the gold around his neck, at one point he landed a right hook,the chinese put out his right to push away and got a point for it!joke is not the word,how can the AIBA allow this to happen it is seriously damaging the integrity of the sport, equality stands as one of the olympic values but where is the equality when a boxer goes into a bout already behind,it is seriously disenchanting!

    but hey **** it,congrats to kenny and all the other irish lads for putting on a showing that has made the entire country proud!
