This Algerian has to go to sleep surely, he has the biggest chin since Jimmy Hill.

Lol they couldn't even strap the headguard on his chins so big.

Referee must of had a bet on the Ukrainian.

I really like Benchabla since he's a regular at the WSB, and yeah wtf with the ref, just imagine without headgear, they will give an 8 count just with the touch of a jab.

Good win by the ukranian

Yep! You can see how easily fans/judges are swayed though, reality is he landed very little legit, scoring shots. Most was glancing, open hand/cuffing shots.

He did score legit shots. IMO he won round 2 and 3 and the Mongolian, the first. Both had clean and scruffy shots scored. Both had their heads snapped back.

5 Ukrainians getting a boxing medal.

Great success

Just rewatched Shelestyuk vs Vastine, Vastine got robbed

Same thing in the Clayton vs Evans fight, Clayton got robbed blind

I agree. I wanted Evans to win as a Brit, but the fool acted like a fool in the third. Got hit and was a fool. He reminds me of other Welsh fighters that brag and get hit.

Both of those fights were close. The thing i still don't understand from the Vastine fight is that the first 2 rounds were tied which was correct yet in the 3rd Vastine fought as if he was tying to protect a lead constantly backpeddling and potshotting not wanting to engage. ****** strategy on his part and it backfired.
