Not sure why there is an obsession with painting the Joshua loss as a shaft job...from what I see it was a razor thin decision....bit classless I say. Let's save the moaning for the real bad decisions

Yeah, they must be top quality at fiddling if they managed to do it by just a point, mind.

Then again, I thought Big Anthony won but I suppose, I would...

Richie Woodhall has done a superb job with the Amateurs in my view. Think back to the years when we were lucky to be getting 1 boxer to the Olympics.

Seen a few of the draws come through on Twitter, can someone tell me when the men's boxing comp starts ? Internet is crap here and I can't find a schedule

Starts tomorrow, Finishes on the last day ! Normally one or two days off but what with the women too this year it might be on all 15 days !
If I had to choose 3 gold medal winners i will go for big Anthony Joshua, vasyl lomenchenko, and Katy Taylor !

Nice one Ian

Heard good things about them all - Campbell, Selby and Evans in particular.

Off to watch this Sat and next Weds. Come on GB!!

who's got predictions, then?

i think the men's team will get 3 medals, at least one gold (Stalker Campbell or Jshua)

Follow John Dennen on twitter for amateur updates. Always on it with results etc

The decision was fair.

It's easy to complain when a British boxer loses a close fight in their opponent's backyard.

Hopefully there's a few home decisions in these Olympics like there seems to be in every other amateur event.

If so, could well have a few medals coming/driving home.

ha, yeah, at the very least i would expect the crowd to bring out an extra % in our lads' performances

Looking at the draws ill be amazed if campbell doesnt medal.

[jBacca]

Yeah he misses Nevin and the Cuban doesn't he?

Natasha Jonas has got a tw@t of a draw.

Aye, she will do well to get through the 1st round. I can see Ireland doing very well at these Olympics.

I'm gona stick with 1 gold, 1 silver and 2 bronze medals for the guys and 2 medals for the girls would be great !

It was very close so you can't really argue with it going by one point either way. If it had been scored by rounds Joshua might have edge it 2 rounds to 1. I thought he looked hurt in the 2nd tho.
