Yes, I think Woodall was right when he said Buatsi needed to remember to get back to his boxing.

McIntosh got so excited he announced a premature curtailment of proceedings in the second act of the contest (as he might have put it.)

Nice little fight that was, Cuban won but it was competitive throughout. McCormack is only 21, would have learned a lot from this week, could have a bright future.

Disappointing performance from Ali. Had hopes for him to go far in the competition. Steve Bunce had Ali winning the fight.

Taylor didn't deserve gold in London imo, I thought she lost her final but was always going to get it.

If it's an Uzbek then he's on later against the Indian Krishnan Vikas.

Anyone know why a count is administered after a boxer is floored from a blatant low blow? What's the point of it?

Question for anyone who definitely knows.

Yeluessinov who got the horrendous cut in the middle of his head but made it to the final by being ahead on the cards, say he fails the doctor, he obviously gets Silver.

However, what if he passes the doctor but the cut opens up again, would his opponent win the fight by stoppage because the other guy came in with the damage, or would they go to the cards again.

Common sense says surely the other guy must win but having seen some of the decisions through the week, I wonder what they have in there wonderful rule book

He's good, maybe needs to calm down a bit and stop trying to take the Indian guys head off with every shot.
