Paddy Barnes gets first medal for Ireland!

I was well impressed by Paddy Barnes. I'll be pulling for him in the final, but he's got an uphill battle against the hometown favorite. He's got a good style and I like his attitude. Congrats to Ireland for their solid showing.

So does that mean that in boxing 2 bronze medals are awarded. Because there are 4 fighters in the quater final, the two winners will fight for the gold and silver.
