    Iglesias, Falcao and Ramirez have been fantastic. To a lesser degree Savon, Joshua, Vitali jr, Mekhontcev, Valdes and the Lithuanian tank. Berinchyk too.

    :lol: @ Vitali Jr.

    :nod :| @ the Lithuanian tank, who should be fighting Lomachenko tomorrow.

    Agreed on the rest. (E.) Falcao Florentino, Ramirez Carrazana, Iglesias Sotolongo and Mekhontcev have been most impressive.

    Ah yeah, they're showing the bronze presentations now.

    A few minutes ago it was BJ Flores in the studio breaking down Iglesias vs. Berinchyk and doing some pantomiming & shadowboxing as he narrated. :lol:

    I was thinking the same. But Cambell deserved the win and this might sound cynical but it's great for the pro game (assuming he turns pro but great nonetheless) when GBR win.

    Nevin looked like he wanted to be somewhere else.

    A bit somber, yeah. Big moment, though. Probably overwhelmed.

    He has to be kicking himself over that performance, he was absolutely brilliant against the Mexican Valdez and the Cuban Alvarez and then he just throws it away by changing his style to a come forward fighter in the final. He didn't work his way in or bend at the waist, just walked in with his chin in the air and hands down repeatedly.
    He would've been my pick for the Val Barker trophy had he continued his form.

    Yeah I'm only joking, it probably hadn't sunk in yet.
