    Just read this, you beat me to posting it. Man that sucks he had a good chance of making the medal stand.
    For every story told that divides us, I believe there are a thousand untold that unite us.

    That's too bad. I've been following him. Oh well, the US still has 7 more boxers on their team then us, so...

    To bad. He's one of the guys who is going to get some of the biggest buzz when he turns pro and I've read before that when he does turn pro it will likely be at 135 so obviously the 119 lb limit was a struggle for him. Good thing he was found though.

    Its bad when fighters like Russell and Gavin can't make weight, its not like the Olympics has just sprung out of nowhere.

    Good luck to him in whatever he does next
