    Even down the two points, his efforts in the third should have covered the gulf. Petrauskas was robbed of a silver medal, and we got robbed of a classic in the finals. :-(

    BBC says Korean deservedly won it. He did land crisp counters but the Lithuanian is a crowd favorite and and they don't like the result!!!

    Looks like Lomachenko will get another KO1 in Olimpic finals

    BBC give no credit to anything resembling a pro-style.

    I'm watching without any commentary. :conf

    Petrauskas landed everything and anything that was meaningful and effective. Han just slapped and ran.

    There are two boxers in this tournament who's hype is so big that it's impossible to beat them , unless you ko them , one is Shimming and the other is Lomachenko .

    Do research before writing smth. Insulting is way to go these days.
    Yes, Vasyl moved up in category in 2011 but he's not reaching weight limit of 60 kilos and keeps his original weight, while Lopes sits just around 60.

    I honestly wouldn't have minded Petrauskas losing to someone as talented as him, in fact I'd have favored Lomachenko (by nowhere near as much as he should be favored over Han, but still favored) - but he should have at least had a crack at him. He's more than earned it over the course of the tournament, including just now.

    Lomachenko looks noticably smaller than almost every oppoenent he's fought since moving up to 60KG. Hence his style change and why he now has to pressure and fight on the inside....
