      That man should go pro as well.

      TBH i have not seen that much of him by all acount he is a year older than Khan so maybe u are right he should turn Pro now rather than later

      that English kid Billy Joe in the olympics looks pretty decent aswell allthough i think he is fighting the Cuban next and that kid looked excellent when i saw him in the preliminarys

        I hope Warren does go pro. maybe he'll have a turn around once he hits the Pro ranks, after a disappointing Olympics ala Andre Berto.

          I watched this bout last night, this Warren guy was dancing around and staying away from the korean guy in the last 30 secs when he was down by a point, when he should of desperately been trying to score

              brits wise:

              De'gale - looked decent enough, had a nervous first round but after that, composed himself and dominated. 8/10
              Billy joe Saunders - Looked amazing, simple as that. Has the style and personality to go pro. 10/10
              Bradley Saunders - he koed his opponent to early to tell, but gaining 4 points within 1 minute is a good sign. 8/10
              Joe Murray - I think the judges were slightly biased towards the chinese fighter even tho the chinese fighter did clearly win. I think that got to Joe and and he started to panick or he was really nervous being in such a big event. 4/10

                That don't mean ****.

                Yea he might not win a medal, but let him turn pro. I bet he'll get a belt. Which is WAY better than a medal.

                  That isnt true, just ask Rocky Juarez or Roy Jones what that olympic medal would have meant to them. A world title belt is much easier to get than an olympic medal.

                    Well, probably not for all those guys who actually compete at the Olympics. As someone else said, it is much harder to get an Olympic medal today than it is to get a 'title'. It is also more of a national honor thing. To have won a medal for your country is a very big thing.

                      Wilder just came back really strong, hurting the guy a couple times, winning it.
