Well done to the Northern Ireland boxers.

Especially Paddy Barnes for successfully defending his title

In his interview afterwards I had real trouble understanding his accent, got to be the strongest i've heard. Top work though being the first boxer in 40+ years to retain the gold medal. It's far better too now the head guards have been dropped.

Don't worry, I also have trouble understanding him too, and I live there.
Conlon's is worse!

I agree about the head guards too, has to be more 'dangerous' in the long run wearing those things

Why do women have head guards? Blows are lighter and brains thicker. Must play havoc with their hairstyles

Most fights were very good, some were excellent but a few were dire. It never ceases to amaze me how some apparently good boxers just can't seem to get the range right and hardly land a decent punch on their opponent.
