    Hardly surprising given what happened in the last round. At least Whittaker was disappointed with his silver in contrast Clarke was absolutely delighted.

    Think it may have been a third cut that was opened up. Either way it was a mess.

    Unbelievable. Remember just a few years back seeing Galal get his ass kicked by Harvey Horn and Sunny Edwards in the ABAs.

    This endless supply of Yafai brothers is producing some good boxers.

    Yafai is a decent fighter, but I think he’s been fortunate with the judges all tournament. Every close round in the tournament was given to him . In that second round of the final he was badly hurt.

    Have a day off mate, he clearly won the fight, he put the guy down in the first, won a fairly close second and boxed well in the third.

    Deserved win.

    Got to work on his jab, a lot of amaters have bad jabs.
