    Nikitin has had to pull out of his SF fight v Stevenson. The beating he got off Conlon left him unable to compete. Stevenson straight into final.

    Does Nikitin still get his medal if he doesn't make it into the ring for his semi final? The echoes of 'robbery' grow ever louder.

    Just read an Irish fighter asked Putin how much did it cost to bribe the officials.
    All's lost! Everything's going to shit!

    Caught the Conlan win turned strong arm job. Something needed to change with scoring system but amateurs judging on professional criteria on the world stage just insures Bob Arum will want them appointed next weekend. The money and influence push are only growing bigger, professional changes and participation of actual contenders and guys granted title shots in 'pro' debut only blurs the lines and invites bullshit imo.
