is this the most bizarre stoppage ever? See from 59 mins.
Martin Mongans "loss" at the Euro youths.

 

Was he a superstar underage amateur?

 

Good kid alright,the best of a very good 16 year old team,

 

fcuking mad m8:good

 

Conrad Cummings will make his stateside debut on the Frampton undercard

 

any opponent named:good

 

Shocking.

 

Decent enough draws for O'Reilly and Walsh, Zorrillo will be Dean's big fight. Doesn't really matter about the draw Gardiner and O'Neill have to win. Darren has a shot but Gardiner has a mountain to climb, an Azegir and a Russian looking to qualify in his half.

 

O'reilly could meet an azerbaijani in the quarters though. Be a shame to see him get robbed by a home fighter. Also has the finn the beat him aswell.

 

Is there any link for these AIBA fights?

 

Is that the same Azeri that O Reilly beat the the euro games finals this time last year because to be totally honest i felt OReilly was very lucky to get the nod that day,
