Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Flyweight medal ceremony.

Nyambayar is trying to hide the fact that he's crying as they drape him with silver.

 

Ramirez Carrazana is over the moon, grinning like a fool and giving everybody a double thumbs up.

 

:yep

Alojan and Conlan can hold their heads high, and so they are.

 

Only Nyambayar isn't quite "over it" yet (understandably, he fell short less than an hour ago) but still sucks it up for the photo ops with his peers.

They dig them some Evans. :arran

 

Round 1

Right jab by Evans as Sapiyev comes in firing the southpaw 1-2 hard. Evans is able to shift his base out of the way, kicking his legs out behind himself and disappearing as Sapiyev keeps the pressure on. Sapiyev yet to land a minute in. Evans not really scoring either, just the odd jab. Here's a right hook from Sapiyev, knocking Evans into a more hurried pace while circling. 1-2 by Evans while moving. Sapiyev sets his feet and throws a 1-2 through the gloves. Right jab by Sapiyev. 1-2 falling in, as Evans gets his arms up in the way and holds him. Sapiyev jabs into the guard while circling left. Evans is being shut down. Left to the body by Sapiyev.

IB's score: 5-3 to Sapiyev
