Olympic boxing

[stew]

Paddy looked punctured.

Loves his own press, I thought he would lose, too much media hype, he seemed distracted.

Does he struggle to get down to that weight? The other guy looked pretty fresh after the 3 rounds while paddy was gassed.

He didn't look fit at all! Disaster. Pressure on Conlon now.

Ramirez that knocked him out 4 years ago is in his division again too after lookin like he wouldnt be going a few months back. Conlon will need the fight of his life to beat him id be thinking if both progress to he business end as they should.

Refreshing honesty

You thought a two time Olympic bronze medallist and world number one would lose against a complete newcomer that nobody had ever heard of from a country with little boxing tradition? Spoof.

Are we starting to see signs that maybe losing Billy Walsh wasn't the brightest thing are boxing allowed to happen?

Paddy was the bookies favourite to win the division so if this psychic fancied this unknown kid to beat him today id say hed have beenr rewarded with very juicy odds. Hope he made a fortune

Plenty time for twitter... Cough sorry

Thats what i said...spend more time in the gym and less time on twitter. V close call all the same, he looked v lethargic and unfit

Yes. The reason he lost was because he sent a couple of tweets out.
He's a two time Olympic medal winner. I'd be pretty sure he spent plenty of time in the gym preparing for this fight and the Olympics.

Pro ranks? Too old ?

Couldn't do punditry, would need subtitles

Why would he fight at that weight if its a struggle for him to get down too?
Would he not be better off or actually would it not make more sense fighting at a weight that he can achieve or is that not how it works? I don't follow boxing much so don't know.

Safely say he doesn't or people around him don't think he has the power to go up the weights.

Paddy Barnes and Michael Conlon's twitters are good value again this olympics. McIlroy getting a hard time off Barnes.

I'm sure he's devastated

McIlroy took it in good humour (which it was meant in).  Looks like he forgot to impart this strategy to his chief cheerleader.

I put his tweet franko, all in good humour

Yeah, sure.

Billy Walsh proving his worth for the USA, his fighter just defeated the no.2 seeded Russian.
