Silvers nothing to be ashamed of. Go one better next time.

Khan did well, didn't disgrace himself at all, Kindelan seems to carry this invincible aura and it's hard to get amongst him. Although Khan caught him with a couple of right hands which made him think, the judging was fine up until the last round and it went array a bit, around the 39 second mark Khan landed a good right which jolted Kindelan's head back but it didn't score...that pissed me off But overall he should box on as an amateur and forget all the agents and what have you who are trying to get there claws into him. And for goodness sake stay away from Warren.

he did very well and well pleased for him

It was an excellent performance by Khan - he more than held is own and caught Kindelan with some very good shots. I hope they give the Val Barker to Khan.

I was slightly surprised Gary Richardson was telling Khan's coach about Warren's interest - for goodness sake don't encourage him!

Thats because Gary Richardson is a prize prick. Good one Khan. Don't sign with Warren. Stay amateur until next olympics, turn pro and kick the crap out of a lot of Warrens fighters.

Barry Hearn said on the radio "I would walk to Athens if i thought i had a chance of signing him" At least the chance he would fight for a proper world title are greater under Hearn.

I thought that was Khan's best performance of the championship, nice to see him with his hands up. Kindelan was that little bit better, but he is the best boxer of these games and I still don't think he was out of 3rd gear.

I was very impressed with Khan and I hope he sticks at it, he has a good chance in 4 years time. Kindelan was class, look how many shots he threw in thr 4th and he still scored the same about as Khan.

Best final of the games by some way.

I couldn't believe Gary Richardson kept Michael Jelley talking before the contest when he said "I need to go to give him some final words". Take the hint Gary. Nice to hear from Holyfield, talked a bit of sense and sounded well.

Apart from the bit where he said he plans to continue fighting.

Pissed me off how all these finalists just fell into the Cuban's traps of following them around, getting a few points behind and then having to catch up, meaning they were knackered coz they just couldn't catch them. Totally played into their hands. Not one Cuban was made to get on the front foot and chase the game.

Amazed me, how when they did manage to get a Cuban into a little skirmish that when they backed off, the Cuban boxer always got a point, without necessarily looking as if he'd landed anything. And pissed myself when this Cuban lad through a straight left, it hit the Thai fella's gloves, landed nowhere near the target, yet scored immediately. then, the Thai lad lands a great shot and the Cuban knocked off balance, and the stupid muvver-fornicator of a ref stops the action. Awful.

Points scoring is bollocks. How can you score a fight like that. How can a judge hit one button to score and immediately hit another for the other boxer, within the one-second limit he has for the punch to be recognised.

Excellent performance by Khan though. He just fell too far behind in the second and no way was he gonna catch up then.

Can't help it, the amateur sport is a joke. Not the boxers, but the refereeing, the judges and how the sport has been turned into 'fencing' with gloves on. In a word.... well done to the boxers, but you're being judged and reffed by a bunch of knobs.
