Managed to watch Stalker in the end. It was never close. Stalker was getting hit far too much. Still a bronze, good on the lad

The Ukranian just walked him down. Bronze is great though.

yea, strong kid. You could see Stalker being stopped in his tracks with some of the punches, even when they just hit the gloves.

Looking forward to Selby and Joshua later

McCracken, Fearon, Warren, Cowap, Brook, Boddy and a few others on BBC London at 8pm tonight.
Adios.

Just watching China v Azerbaijan and the Chinese Heavyweight fighter has just quit. Baffled by it.

Anybody know how Selby got on/getting on?

Selby just won 21-15

Selby boxed well. Made me chuckle when he kissed the addidas badge after his win!

Good performance, really stepped it up after first round

Awesome, 2 finalists, class. Anybody know what time Joshua will be fighting? roughly?

Joshua through after fight stopped in first round.

Three through to final!!!!

Awesome news

Impressive stuff! This will hopefully see boxing get some high profile coverage in the build up and also some quality coverage on the bbc rather than just being an option.

They follow the medals

Made up for joshua but to lose in the world championship semi finals because of a bloody nose must be demoralising.
Felt sorry for the german.

Little report here:

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE GB BOXING TEAM

Lets hope for at least 2 gold medals which would give amateur boxing a massive boost in this country especially for next years Olympics in London.

Is amateur boxing really boxing these days? It's more like fencing.

There's always one...

OK, Team GB has three in the fencing finals then

The lad who fought Stalker showed one can still have a fight and win...

I have to admit I prefered the action in the WSB - even though I was and still am against the principle of WSB. I do prefer the pro way of scoring a bout.I think it attracts a more attractive style of boxing.

All the same, fantastic achievements from the lads and they can look at the example of Khan and, to a lesser extent (at the moment), James Degale in adapting to the pro's. A good boxer is a good boxer.

2 silvers , Selby had a good last round but just couldn't catch up, Campbell was only a 4 point loser but the Cuban always looked in control of the bout, I think Luke looked a bit tired in there.

And how come Lomachenko is fighting in the final???

Is the Super Heavyweight final taking place today?

Yes

Sapiyev is a great boxer, look forward to seeing him at the Olympics.

I miss seeing the points on screen though as at least you could see how the fight was being scored whether it was right or wrong.

Thanks.

Sapiyev lost, very surprised by that but the ukrainian had a great plan so deserved it.
