I agree. I was in the crowd for that one and thought the referee should have warned Lynch and taken a point. That would have changed the pattern of the fight. Thought Lynch sticking his tongue out at him in the last few seconds was disrespectful and uncalled for. Lynch is clearly talented, although not a massively enjoyable style to watch.

The standard in the women's tournament has been more variable due to lack of depth, but there have been some good fights. https://boxrec.com/en/box-am/899731 of Mozambique won a right tear-up against her opponent from Cameroon - was an entertaining watch.
One particular positive of the women's tournament is that they are boxing 3-minute rounds. That's favouring the better boxers, and making it a better tournament than if it was 2-minute rounds, as the jab-and-grab types are finding it harder to keep the opposition off them for three minutes.

Love Ron's stuff. "Reverse 1-2" was an interesting contribution yesterday.

I think he beats Wyatt Sanford but haven't seen who is in the other Semi.

Delicious Orie looked good. Nice moves for a bit lad. Nigel Paul was a good win. That guy from NZ looked very heavy handed. Orie will have to be careful.
