    Didn’t see the final but he has got the rub of the green a couple of times earlier. He absolutely loves taking big shots to the chin too. It’s exciting but he’ll get hurt in the pros if he carries on like that. He probably just throws caution to the wind for the short distances and therefore neglects his defence.

    With 5 judges most wins have been split decisions, even a lot of clear wins have been scored 4-1. The right guy / gal has been winning the vast majority of the time.

    I haven't seen much but its a credit to the setup how consistent we have become at the Olympics. Let's hope they can transition to being good pros. We need an injection of genuine talent.
