Ys it is Jeff; both men are top class and have fine tactical brains. Nevin boxed excellent today and really deserved his victory, Luke seems to need half a round to get warmed up, hope that deoesn't cost him the Gold.

Well done John Joe, but come on Luke. It's what the tournement is all about. Atmosphere will be brilliant, its what its all about.
