If anyone's interested Ali is on at 16:00 and Joyce on at 18:30.

Fowler on now...

Fowler's out, the Frenchman was just too strong and the ref didn't help giving Fowler a point off for nothing.

Thought he won the first clearly, second and third were closer, French lad possibly just done enough. The fight summed up the state of the officiating in amateur boxing though, clueless referee and the judges blindly favouring the fighter on the front foot if it's anywhere near close.

Absolutely agree he won the first round without a doubt, why the ref was warning him about his low head was a joke. The judges did the same in the fight before at LWW the fighter on the back foot got no credit and should have won the first 2 rounds for me, I think I heard boos when the result was announced too.

I thought Fowler lost.

Goes into the box off. Looked a bit stale after his previous efforts. Hope he rest well and gets through

Shocking officiating in the second round of that fight, ref calls two clear knockdowns for Cordina slips, then Joyce goes on to dominate the rest of the round and two of the judges give it to Cordina. The incompetency is incredible.

Another clueless ref in the Buatsi fight taking a point away from each in the second round, thought the Ukrainian won the first round but didn't get it. Buatsi 2 points up going into the last.

Great win from Buatsi 2-1 although I would have giving it to the Ukrainian, he's got potential but think Rio is too soon for him to be in a chance for a medal.

Okolie is doing unbelievable against the number 1 seed and world no.3!!! 2-0 up...

Great! Ronald McDonald's enormous tongue is flapping around like a dying fish that has been pulled out of the water....

He can't stop his odd attempt at sounding like an excited commentator.... He just sounds like some partially retarded kid who hasn't taken his Ritalin.

He just puts me off watching it....

fornicating brilliant!! Okolie is so unorthodox. 7 through to Rio now.

Although it can be amusing... One of Ronald McIdiot's gems from his drools: "This kid has a mean streak a mile wide!"

Quality day for team GB & still the big man Joe Joyce to come

Here comes Joyce. I like him, despite looking menacing with the scars, he is a laid back character.

Another gem from the horse faced idiot "Joyce got a bye in his opening tournament'... I think you mean fight you dribbling lummox

Joyce is like the terminator he just doesn't stop coming forward with a great engine.

I'm not necessarily complaining, but all the fights seem to be brawls with loads of punches thrown, and not that much skill or actual boxing. The stronger guy always seems to win.

With the no headguard, new scoring concept, the fights seem to be the complete opposite of the so-called computer point scoring fights that just led to fencing and trying to score with one clean shot....

Very odd (I admit I only watched 5 or so contests at the heavier weights though.)

Gutted I missed this

Higher quality than any non PPV Hearn show in years.

Nice
