2012 Olympic Boxing. Day 2

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.

Good start from Evans. He is very quick, but defensively he doesn't look great

Decent start, bit open to the counter at times but still winning. The bias commentary is embarrassing though

I don't think Evans looks anywhere near as good leading off.

5-2 that round was generous IMO, most of his shots were cuffs

12-7 - Algerian aint coming back from that

I agree, he needs to make his opponent come to him and stay countering. 5-2 was generous

Evans (GBR) vs Abbadi (ALG)

Great atmosphere. GBR starts well but has been caught a few times. 7-5 GBR
ALG being patient & doing well at range, GBR landing clean counterpunches. 12-7 GBR
GBR leaking occasional shots but still outscoring ALG. Good performance by Freddie. 18-10 GBR

Very good last round I thought. Picked his shots much better, and defensively was a lot sounder.

Looking forward to seeing him progress

He's got the lithuanian who stopped him in the worlds next so that should be a tasty affair.

Cheers for the updates @DrMo :good

Evans looked good as the fight progressed, but Woodhall needs to stop bumming him. In the replay he was calling shots that didn't even land. atsch

I thought exactly the same. The second round he moaned at the ref because he warned Evans for hitting with the inside of the glove, which he did.

Decent enough from Evans, but was terrible scoring

I scored it 35-4 to Evans

That seems a little wide to me, Bryn.

Josh Taylor on in 5 :bbb Nolan on later

Tonights session should be better than this afternoon's. Some interesting fights ahead

Come on Taylor!

Thought the Brazilian nicked that round mind

Better second round for Taylor. 9-6 now.

:lol: What bet did you lose Wallace?
