Arias Romero (DOM) vs Marriaga Campo (COL) - winner faces Lomachenko next

Southpaw DOM countering well off the backfoot, limited success for COL as he comes forward. 6-3 DOM
Similar round to the 1st, not the best quality fight but all the clean shots coming from DOM. 12-5 DOM
A more positive start by COL but still largely ineffective. COL landing good left hands. 17-8 DOM

Mejri (TUN) vs Chitou (BEN)

Good start by BEN, TUN down but ruled a slip. BEN using his superior reach in a quiet 1st round. 3-2 TUN (?)
Aggression from TUN & some good exchanges. Both guys scoring points, right hand from TUN the best shot of the round. 9-5 TUN
Toe-to-toe action, TUN down again from a shot but also no KD ruled. BEN doing well this round but TUN still scoring. 16-9 TUN

A better fight than the last but a quiet start to todays boxing.

Zhailauov (KAZ) vs Ardee (THA)

KAZ looks strong & solid, THA more mobile & rangy & is landing the better shots. KAZ bleeding from the nose. Good action in final minute. 5-4 THA
THA boxing on the back foot but KAZ having some joy during his attacks. Close & competitive fight. 8-8
3rd round a bit scrappy, good bodyshots from THA who is busier, some good counters from KAZ. 12-12 KAZ wins on countback, unpopular decision

Byamba (MGL) vs Mitoumba Mbemy (GAB)

Patient start, the taller GAB flickering shots whilst MGL stalks forward in a crouch. MGL working well inside, loading up on left hooks. 5-1 MGL
2nd round very similar, more success for MGL in close scoring with combos. Lovely slips & feints from MGL, GAB just cant cope. 11-2 MGL
Quiet round, MGL still being effective but not a lot of action. Nice to see a shorter pressure fighter doing well in this tournament. 17-4 MGL

Well, yesterday I was on a mission to record all of the olympic boxing... Set my sights on taking over the tv for the duration of the olympic boxing... Yesterday was a big day for boxing in general, which saw me get the first two olympic sessions recorded then I stayed up to get the boxnation event recorded, I was then thinking great I'll get a few hours sleep and be awake in time for the next olympic session this afternoon.

It's not went to that plan at all - I've literally just woke up about 5 minutes ago. And my sky+ box has failed to record. to say I'm not happy is about right. but I have two options left. I could just record Freddie Evans fight at 4ish? or just scrap this entire session and tape the next session later tonight?

Normally, I wouldn't care about Amateur Boxing but this past year on boxnation I've been exposed to the world of amateur boxing and have recorded, the AIBA finals, World Series of Boxing, Haringey Box Cup etc... and most importantly I've really enjoyed watching them as the view was that several winners of these tournaments would then go on to appear at the olympics. So, this is like the pinnacle of the sport and I've missed this afternoons part of it. gutted I am! gutted!

Abdoulaye Hima (NIG) vs Hammond (AUS)

AUS looks more technical but is struggling with the rangy & awkward NIG. 2-2
NIG is unorthodox & unpredictable, long arms but does well on the inside. Some stiff counters & an 8 count for NIG. 7-4 AUS
AUS growing in confidence & starting to time NIG's attacks. Classy counter combination from AUS.
