Lomachenko vs Martinez fight in full. Will be taken down at some stage I'm sure. 

 

[When Jokers Attack]

Link down but found another one, Lomachenko is absolute class, a  joy to watch.

[When Jokers Attack]

Looks good

Very impressive from Wilder last night. Broken hand and torn bicep for 4 or 5 rounds and still won easily.

Your definition of impressive and mine are very different

Thought he did well with one arm.

Frampton/Santa Cruz was superb last night. Best boxing match I've seen this year.

Amateur boxing is not covering itself in glory or doing itself any favours at the Olympics, is it?

A joke. The heavyweight and Conlon decisions were just wrong.  

Guardian called it before the tournament.

Pretty sick joke. You have to really feel your anyone who busts their arse for 4 years to get to an Olympics and to try and fight for a medal just for it to be taken away from them somewhat arbitrarly . All that hard work and effort for what? Its pretty depressing. Inverdale didn't know how to handle Conlan on the Beeb yesterday. That result alone could severely damage boxing in Ireland for years to come which is a massive shame considering the lift it got from London 4 years ago

[The Nal]

He wasn't happy!

Neither does people in positions of power flogging tickets to touts...

Somehow I dont think Pat Hickeys arrest will discourage any kids to pick up sports but its great to see the Brazilians going after the brown envelope brigade. The level of corruption and drugs in so many world sports is depressing

Irishman calls Brazil Olympics corrupt.
Irishman gets arrested for Olympics corruption.

That's a bit of a coincidence, don't you think?

Hickey is a bent fucker - been widely known for years.

Na. You are very much adding 2 and 2 and getting 5 there I believe. The ball was rolling for Hickys arrest for the last 2 weeks. They had already made arrests into the ticket touting and have warrants out for others including other Irish men, Brits and Dutch apparently.

Also Conlan wasnt saying the the Brazil Olympics are corrupt. He was saying amateur boxing and the AIBA are corrupt (which they are), so there is a difference. Although I would not argue with anyone who thinks the IOC is corrupt. There is a definite whiff off them, especially in the wake of how they handled the Russian state sponsored doping program.

No they're both corrupt. Hope they chuck him in the clink and throw away the key.

Huge fight on Saturday. Kovalev vs Ward. Both unbeaten.

Anyone watch that fucking shambles of a fight last week? Ortiz vs Scott.

Ward will win easily if he's not too rusty. 

Yes, Scott was a disgrace but Ortiz not impressive at all. Certainly won't be worrying anyone else in the division with that display

Ortiz/Scott was awful

Can't wait for Kovalev/Ward. Think Ward will win on points.  Two UFC shows tonight too, spoilt for choice but looking forward to this most.

Serious performance from Lomachenko at the weekend. That said, Walters quitting was awful.

Very impressive from Katie Taylor too on her pro debut. Shes on the AJ card now next week.

Haven't seen it yet, looking forward to catching the whole fight replayed. 

The AJ card on 10 Dec is shite. When the pick of the fights is Whyte v Chisora....
