Well done team GB.

Both Campbell and Selby started too slowly but I thought Selby won his fight. I thought he did enough and won rounds 2 and 3 and was up on points. I don't know how they scored the last round a point to the Russian.

Been a fantastic year for Selby - Wales look like they have two quality fighters coming through in him and Fred Evans.

A European Gold and a World Silver (that should have been Gold imo). It's ridiculous that he has to box off for the Olympics with that record. The rules really need looking at. He is a strong Gold medal hope if he wins his box off which is never a certainty.

Fred Evans at only 20 is also a European medal winner this year. He got caught with a good shot and stopped in the World's but has qualified for the Olympics.

He like Selby, Campbell, Stalker and Joshua looks to be a top talent. I expect him to bounce back from this and hopefully pick a medal up at the Olympics.

Head movement is something he needs to improve on and I expect he will do so now. He's a great counter puncher, but needs to learn how to box on the front foot a bit more as opponents will be wary of committing against him.

Plenty of quality fighters got stopped in the Amateurs and went on to have quality pro careers.

Ricky Hatton was stopped by Braehmer and Haye was too. Their two just off the top of my head.

Campbell looks a quality prospect as well, he was more soundly beaten by the Cuban but could have won if he'd hadn't started so slow.

Joshua has done fantastic considering his inexperience. Both he and Campell are solid Gold medal hopes along with Selby as long as Selby qualifies.

Stalker is also quality but wouldn't expect him to win Gold, but definitely a medal hope.
