Another win for team G.B guaranteed at least 5 well deserved medals in boxing.

Turn them into 5 golds lads!

and wont do **** in the pros

No doubt? It was so close. The Canadian was only in it because the judges gave him too much credit for the second round which he won, but not by 3 points.

Fair decision anyway.

Yes.

I'm a Canadian, and I agree it was a fair decision in a very close fight, not a robbery.

The right man won but Spence didn't lose by 5 points...get the hell outta here...and I woulda took a point after all that holding...smh

Problem with US Boxing...WATCH TOO MUCH MAYWEATHER! Nothing against Floyd but if your going to watch and learn from him videos you have to watch his 130-135 Fights...not 147 which is more about being Defensive

That style not going to work in the Olympics or Amateurs...you have to come forward and be aggressive..Defend with your HANDS not your Feet...who ever was the Trainers for this team as well as the ones who Selected this team...ALL SHOULD BE FIRED!

I'm fairly sure more than 3 warnings were given for holding. Not sure why points weren't given.

Well the members of the Team did go through the Olympic Trials as well as the World Championships in Baku (and if they failed in Baku, than the 2012 Nationals and Americas Qualifier) so it wasn't their first time seeing international competition...

Sapyiev destroyed him, guys footwork and balance is outstanding.

Would like to see him at least tuck his chin a bit more though

Yea, Sapyiev was nice, but that chin of his is going to get cracked open in the pros. He was hurt on the ropes in the second, and while he was quick feet and good hands, he does not turn over his punches.

He is a very good AM fighter, but unless he makes some serious changes, he would get killed by a Mexicanesque fighter in a 12 rounder.
