What do you think of nevin beating the current world youth champion Mike ? And Nevin is underage next year too. I know you didn't have him too high on hour ratings

[tflanagan5]

Oh and Nevin's won gold, got a walk over in the final

Champions
49 Ruslan Rustamov AZE
52 Akash Taqir ENG
56 Raffaele Di Serio ITA
60 Denis Gashi GER

69 Michael Nevin IRE
75 Dzhamal Mahmudov RUS
81 Muslim Gadzhimagomedov RUS
91 Nikoloz Begadze GRG
+91 Valeriy Topuzyan RUS
Very impressed with Nevin and Taqir.Tuminov is very highly regarded and Nevin had lost earlier in the season to Russian number 3 Kulikov albeit it was very close.Nevin had also had close matches with Martin Stokes and Silvio Schierle earlier but the victory here marks him as a genuine world class boxer.
Taqir had lost earlier to Mickey McDonagh and Brandon Daord at domestic level so a surprise gold for him.
At this age though we should expect good boxers to learn from their losses.

I taught taqir lost to o'doughue in the semi if you ask me. They guy looks huge for his weight too, about 5-6 inched taller than everyone else. Martin stokes is a serious boxer too
