I'm watching it on a Canadian TV station, the CBC. I'm spending the weekend in Vancouver - I live close to the border between Bellingham and Seattle.

There's lots of livestreams on the internet. Try here:

The Mongolian bantamweight is dominating the Cuban, leading 12:5 after 3 rounds.

Mongolia wins only it's second Olympic gold medal ever in any sport, by a score of 16:5.

Badar-Uugan Enkhbat put on a solid performance and wins Bantamweight gold, defeating Leon Alarcon of Cuba.

[Silencers]

I'm surprised at how many body shots got counted for the Mongolian Enkhbat but he won it fair and square.

Lightweights Alexey Tischenko vs. Daouda Sow coming up.

Sow has an awkward southpaw style, Tishchenko up 3:2 after 1.
