Yeah, this was an invaluable thread to have during this often frustrating and always fascinating two week period. Many thanks to IB and to everyone else (Vyotsky immediately comes to mind) who contributed.
Just saw snippets of the Super Heavyweight Gold Medal Bout: congrats Anthony Joshua, faster and straighter shots down the pipe (as far as I could tell [nodding off!]) <Putting on my TMZ hat>: was more interested that they mentioned that Lennox, Vlodymr and Audley was there watching as well. =============================================== Edit: Oh shee! Just been reading thru the previous pages...seems Joshua victory is hotly disputed. That's what I get for watching 3rd round only and an increase in activity by Joshua. Fug you, Channel Nein! Multiple channels and you can't even release an extra one for multi-casting.
