Ward on now

Two weird styles. Ward scoring.

They are very messy alright. Ward deducted a point now...

Ward's an awkward slugger - be no surprise if he loses I'm afraid...

ONeill · August 10, 2016, 11:42:06 PM

Hard one to judge. Like two drunken brawlers.

BennyHarp · August 10, 2016, 11:45:40 PM

.....and another point. This will be tough now!

The ref was a bit of a joke.

Tony Baloney · August 10, 2016, 11:48:09 PM

Pathetic stuff. Was well warned about holding.

What did Ward do to get his reputation? Completely unable to defend himself..

Awful fight, Ward got what he deserved. Never came to fight, holding and brawling seemed to be his gameplan.

ONeill · August 10, 2016, 11:50:25 PM

Ward showed nothing there to suggest he was a potential medallist. Crap fight.

All the pre tournament bigging up of the boxers is backfiring. I heard numerous pundits tipping Ireland for 8 medals in the boxing. Instead 4 have gone home already and performances have been poor generally.

I dunno which was worse? The fight or RTE's panel of experts?

They built Ward up like he was a sure thing.

After they blame ref, not showing up, fitness and tiredness!!

Pathetic stuff.

Bit of needle between Carruth and Dunne?

FermGael · August 11, 2016, 12:17:49 AM

Carruths brother one of the men who got rid of Billy Walsh.
Dunne is obviously uncomfortable with the whole setup and biting his tongue.
