Paddy Barnes gets first medal for Ireland!

Congratulations, it'll be nice to see 3 medals for Ireland, not t the expence of GB though

I sincerely doubt we'll get the three.

Egan should win his*, he's had a favourable draw being matched with Washingtin Silva of Brazil, who has been an overachiever in making this round.

As for Sutherland, he won't beat Balanco ploughing forward like a slow Bulldozer, like he did in his first fight.

He was good and steady, very well balanced.

Yet he still slipped in the final round.

That canvas is muck!
