He was the big British hope,

. I think he was our most likely gold medal

That makes Sadam Ali's job a little easier.

And as the article said, why didn't he try to qualify at light welterweight?

Imagine how he feels right now.
One of the favoritees to win a gold medal at the Olympics and blows it for not making weight.

For ****s sake, he was definately our best gold medal hope.

Its a complete farce that he failed to make weight. They have been in a training camp for the past few months yet he couldn't get down to the weight limit. It is an embarrassment to the British Amatuer Boxing Association and Gavin has got some serious explaining to do.
