    Ireland square off against England tonight through combat. I hope the result will be a fair decision!

    Rau'shee "O and 3" Wárren will probably never shed that Olympic blemish, whatever he accomplishes as a pro :!:

    I can't believe I missed this the first time. Dissection is from Sweden, not Norway.

    W@rren should have turned pro after his first Olympics. He could have already won a title or two by now.

    Why is his name censored?

    He definately should have, cause although he has obvious flaws flyweight division is far from being one the strongest divisions. :yep
    Because of some promoter who's name should not be called upon.

    "Frankly", dmille, the promoter in question doesn't give a damn if you were or not...

    Didn't she already get an award by AIBA as the best boxer at the championship? Don't know how it works with the Val Barker trophy for women. If both are under consideration or not.

    And yes, Russo shall get killed by Usyk today. Come on!

    He was probably too young to go pro, like 17. Also it's hard to get on tv as a flyweight, he was probably making similar money in wsb compared to what Viloria makes.

    He should have turned pro after his 2nd, at 21, but I'm sure he badly wanted to redeem his 2 early exits.

    This will be my first time watching on my big HDTV screen. :happy (finals being broadcasted live on CNBC & CNBCHD)

    Everything else has been on the NBC streaming site on my laptop on a 7x5" fitted screen. (or full-screen at times, but that means not having the extra browser window open to post about the action :!:)

    Round 1

    Shiming works the 1-2 and switches back and forth between orthodox and southpaw. Pongprayoon is lunging in with rights over the top and getting clasped inside. Nice stiff jab between the sides of Pongprayoon's headgear and a right cross forced through. Pongprayoon tries to work his way inside again and gets grabbed again. Big whipping right hook from the rear by Shiming. Another clinch. Pongprayoon's headgear gets twisted around. 1-2 to the gloves by Shiming. Shove off by Shiming. Charge inside by Shiming, clinch. Pongprayoon can't get off without Shiming rushing him and can't gain the upper hand on the inside grappling with the taller man. Body shot by Pongprayoon. Right jabs by Shiming floating around outside in the southpaw stance. Switch back to orthodox and a sloppy clinch stepping in. Right to the body by Shiming.

    IB's score: 4-1 Shiming
