Correct me if i am wrong but I'm pretty sure it was Barnes who I saw being interviewed after his QF win saying that he is delighted to be just taking part in the Olympics and to have gotten to this stage....and that bronze was a v good achievement!??? (para-phrasing there).

Slight change of tune if it he did say that!

It was him, but remember that this was BY FAR the biggest fight of his life and he got taught a lesson. He was obviously smarting. Give him a couple of hours and he'll be (rightly) celebrating his medal. Loser boxers shouldn't be interviewed minutes after the fight, their head can't be right

It's ironic that he discounts a Bronze medal yet feels that he should've scored at least one point, a point that would've been a token point when you're beaten by such a large margin.

Well imo he was not beaten by that much at all. I think 12-2 or 12-3 would be closer to the correct score and I'm being very kind to Zou there. He definitely and clearly won the contest but not by as much.

ROCKMAN · 22-08-2008 2:02pm

I love seen a winners attitude coming out of Barnes, Now I think if he says the same thing in a few hours/days then it is like people have said it will be very disrespectful etc etc , But I'm for one , going to put it down to heat of the moment stuff , Christ we have all say stupid things in the heat of the moment ie Will you marry me etc etc etc

efb · 22-08-2008 2:10pm

Come on Kenny! Hopefully he'll win by 5+ points

eagle eye · 22-08-2008 2:14pm

Come on Kenneth Egan.

McGetty · 22-08-2008 2:16pm

Stuck at work and can't get a livestream, has it started? Can anyone provide an update on the score?

efb · 22-08-2008 2:17pm

1-1 fair enough. Jeffers got an easy point as Kenny went backwards

ROCKMAN · 22-08-2008 2:17pm

1-1 rd 1

That will do , like to see kenny a bit busier.

eagle eye · 22-08-2008 2:17pm

That was very smart from Egan to look at the referee when Jeffries came back in with the head down for a second time.

I'm not in Ireland - CBC nor NBC streamed it, no idea why really, it's not like they showed it live on their television channels.

Sunday morning.

Well done Egan. Great fight. Didn't get ruffled when Jeffries repeatedly charging at him dropping the shoulder. Picked his shots nicely. Some great celebrations from him at the end.

Jimmy Magee has to go through lads. Je*us, he's embarrassing, and his commentary spoils the fight rather than adding to it.

Carroller16 · 22-08-2008 2:38pm

breaking news.ie is saying 6.51am irish time??

eagle eye · 22-08-2008 2:41pm

I love Carruth there again, asked who he fancied for the upcoming semi-final, he says it out straight that we don't really want to see a chinese guy in the final, 'home and advantage and all that' as he put it.

efb · 22-08-2008 2:43pm

Ireland v China

efb · 22-08-2008 2:44pm

Chinaman got in on countback

Who do you trust? Us or them?

Absolutely nothing to fear from this particular chinese fighter.

Also think I just heard him say "the lad from Kazerbaijan"! Obviously there has been some political turmoil between Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan this morning and a new independent state has emerged.

Himself and Dunne also kept referring to a boxer from Namibia as the "nambian" during the week, classic stuff. Must be where the namby pampy boxing comes from.

At least they're bringing some humour (if not always intended) to proceedings.

Dowling on the other hands is just an arse. If he tells me once more about a boxer he's "had the pleasure of watching from ringside" I'll put my foot through the telly.

Lee's analysis has been excellent (along with his geography!)
