I guess I was a little too subtle in merely referring to Julius as"the 21-year old son of former two-division world champion Julian Jackson."

Julius' brother John Jackson is also on the Olympic squad. He fights Sunday afternoon in the welterweight division.

No worries. I'm a wise-ass by nature, so you merely allowed me to get my daily fix

It was indeed - and I agree on the scoring. How the **** that fight was only 6-3 or 7-3 at the time of the stoppage is ridiculous.
