    Who's been most impressive in the Olympics so far?

    i haven't been able to watch as much of the Olympic boxing as i would like to, so who's impressed you the most so far?

    one of the few fights i've seen was the Cuban middleweight, Emilio Correa, schooling an Australian... anyone topped that performance?

    Billy Joe Saunders of the GB team was very good, put in arguably the best performance of the tournament so far.

      is that the one who got a round 1 KO?

        I haven't seen this fight but the Cuban must have put in a good performance as Fletcher, the Aussie, had beaten him 9 weeks earlier.

          No that was Bradley Saunders at light welter. Billy Joe fights at welter.

          They're not related.

          I agree, Billy Joe was very impressive. Look out for Matvey Korobov at middleweight as well.

            really? the Cuban schooled him... won by a massive gap in points (and rightly so for once)

            looked very skillful

              He got a clear decision over Turkey's Adem Kilicci who was a bronze medalist in the World Championships last year.

              Bradley Saunders is the one who scored the 1st round knockout.

              Next fight will be tough for him though, he's up against a Cuban.

                Yeah, I was expecting a different fight based on that result. As it turned out, Correa was in a different class than Fletcher, and I'm thoroughly bemused at how Fletcher ever pulled off a win... :O

                I've seen Correa a few times 'live' as well, and this was definitely the best I've ever seen him.

                  That was a great performance .... another was the Irish lad Egan .... cant remember who he fought but he was very impressive too, look out for him.
