    I've been seeing mostly lower weights and mostly fair judging.

    This Josh Kelley from the UK any thing special?

    Paddy Barnes had a tough go of it didn't he? Thought he was going to bring back a medal of some kind but apparently he struggled to make weight

    The judging has been very fair so maybe these stories of corruption have been a blessing in disguise so far.
    Britain have lost 6 of 12 fighters already but theres been some really talented fighters so far in Rio.
    Too many fighters fighting with their hands by their sides trying to be Naz for my liking but theres been some cracking tear ups already.

    They guys that youd expect to be getting the fix have been fighting lesser opposition so far.Lets see what happens when the AZE or UZB fighter takes a Cuban on. Was a pretty poor card yesterday for Asanau v Habbachi

    Isn't Ruenrong fighting at a much higher weight though? N'dam too was fighting way above 160

    Only seen the Brit fighters so far, was impressed by Joshua Buatsi, nice to see someone throw body shots

    exactly right , but it just proves what a joke professional weights are because of the 24 hour weigh-in. all the pros have to fight a couple of weights above in the amateurs because they are not TRULY the weight they fight at.
    The GB HW is fighting Savon tonight at 11.45pm, might be worth staying up for.

    Former pro David Graf lost just there too. Okolie Savon up next. Should be a fun fight. They fought earlier this year and Savon stopped him but Okolie looked good a few nights ago.
