Congratulations!

Any idea why David Price lost on a Walk Over?

David Price sustained a serious injury to his left hand and was unable to make a fist or close a glove and thus, despite the medics best efforts, could not compete.

Tough way to lose the bout that could have gotten Price qualified for the Olympics and a World Championships medal.

Hopefully the injury isn't so serious it won't be fixed by your first Continental qualifier in February (2nd in April).

Price will be a strong favourite to qualify in Greece or Italy now. As long as his hand is ok.
Now that the strongest boxers in Europe have qualified, you would fancy one of the other English boxers to get through in Greece or Italy, maybe a DeGale or a Perkins.

I will have my fingers crossed for your lads in the qualifiers. 8)

I think Stephen Smith underachieved in Chicago and I would expect him to qualify for Beijing.
