no expert but i can't see that guy doing anything outside of am boxing, playing the computer rather than fighting (which is the name of the amateur game to be fair), but his expertise seem to be in dodging a fight rather than engaging in one which will not get him that far in pro boxing i would imagine

Fighting right now for gold medal and is 11-5 up against the Cuban, who has lost the plot and bit Degale.

Bit scrappy now.

The Irish fella had beaten DeGale on four occasions prior to the fight so it was some effort and the Cuban in the final is also an excellent boxer. DeGale was a 40/1 outsider at the outset. Sez in the Guardian his style is 'boxing for the connoiseur' rather than for those who like the old bang bang fighting.
No bad at aw. His crazy patter after the fights aint too bad either?

40/1!!!!! Wished I had known that sooner!:wink:

He certainly talks a good fight, be good to watch his progress in the pro ranks, providing Warren keeps his greasy hands off him:grr:
