Nevin connecting with some good shots here, including a nice bit of bodywork. Guaranteed the judges wont score that though :lol: 8-2 Nevin.

The Kazakh lad is boxing well, but the Syrian can crack a bit. Better keep up his hands up.

O Neils opponent is huge, looks like a cruiserweight.

Balla (AUS) vs LBIDA (MAR)

Mad 1st round, both guys landing bombs & happy to slug it out. Great action, close round. 7-6 AUS
Calmer round with more boxing, the rangy MAR doing well at distance & taking control of the fight. 12-11 MAR
AUS gets check-hooked! AUS fighting back landing some solid work, more slugging MAR tiring & getting wild. 16-16 AUS wins on countback

One of the best fights of the tournament so far

Ha used to annoy me too but for some strange reason I like to see if someone is getting robbed rather than wait till the end.

Tbh I didn't expect as good bouts as the couple I've seen expected a lot more fencing style boxing. Although I haven't a clue what the ref is doing half the time.

The 'gloved fencing' brigade certainly got proven wrong for today at least, some very good matches :yep Hope this continues as the stakes get higher.
