Where in the name of jaysus does Kenny Egan get these jackets, it's worse they are getting.

I reckon kenny is secretly auditioning for a role in the new Miami Vice movie

Dunne doing his shadow boxing again

Has this conlon got any chance?

Very much so, Conlon is an excellent fighter and at 20 he's only going to get better.

I think tonight's version is streets ahead of what we have been subjected to up to now-the stone washed thing was just vile...

Egan must have a jacket guy

Gotta get me a jacket guy

JONJO THE MISER

I see he is 1/2 fav, how come there has not been much coverage or fanfare about this guy?

jaysus, kenny stop calling everyone a kid, your only a bleeding kid yourself

Pearson won it by a whisker.

Yeah exactly he seems to think he is 50.

I too want to see good performances from the stars but mainly because I know who they are. Because of the lead up to these games I know who most the British athletes are.

I follow the cycling so I knew all the track stars as well.

No problem with supporting some of their athletes, just in case anyone thinks I'm anti-British or something. Just dont understand why someone would support the country. Doesn't matter that it's Britain, I'd find it odd if people were supporting the US, France,Germany etc.

Like Pearson just won there, and I'm happy that she won, as she's been dominant for a while and is the best in the event, but it's not like I'm supporting every Australian for no reason

Oh my God, THANK YOU! I pointed that out in this thread not long after he said it, to little response. Me and the BF couldn't believe he said that!

Diego Maradona

The size of this French whipper snapper

Diego Maradona

Not liking the booing of the French lad, not cool!

keano_afc

Conlon looks very young. Is he really 20?

JONJO THE MISER

Hopefully the American Judge will give us a few points for auld times sake.

nice_very

go on Conlon do a "Katie" and knock the snot out of him

Meauldsegosha

Here we go, good luck Michael

Richard Hillman

I notice Pearson has a tramp stamp of the Olympic rings. I couldnt imagine if she went through her whole career without winning gold and having that tatoo to remind her :pac:

Good on the girl

racso1975

I now ive an untrained eye but French guy looks good

Did you know he can fight south paw? Wouldn't have known myself.

Ah jimmy :pac:

My name is URL

Pretty much everyone misspelling Conlan's name.. even the media have basically renamed him

Colmustard

Its amazing how long 3 minutes can last, he up against it.

If he turned pro he might have been able to afford a suit guy.:)

keano_afc

Frenchman moving forward a lot. Which, in a battle, is very un-French like.

That was a great race!

Diego Maradona

5-5, this French guy is good.

racso1975

Wow 5 all

That's a fair score.

Hercule Poirot

5 a piece? Thought the Frenchman took it tbh

Aidric

5-5 first round..thought the French boxer edged it myself

The reason there was little response is because it was a light hearted joke.

Colmustard

5 all I thought the Frenchman would have got that one.

Diego Maradona

Nah, he's throwing a lot of punches but has landed very little.

garv123

In fairness he looked like he was winning but he threw a lot into the arms and shoulders

Colmustard

Its a good fight.

I think frenchy is gonna take it overall.

Colmustard

Much better GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

I think I remember seeing a program years ago about olympic athletes getting the rings. All of certain countries athletes (that want tatoos presumably ) do it iirc. Kind of an "I've been in the olympics" thing.

Meauldsegosha

Think the Frenchman has this round.

I got that wrong and for once I don't mind: )

Hercule Poirot

Frenchman giving a good example of offense being the best defence

My name is URL

Conlan would want to get his act together in the last round if he wants a chance. Here's hoping he does...

garv123

The air is taking some hammering off the french lad

racso1975

Still level

JONJO THE MISER

Levels ya devils.

Diego Maradona

12-12 all to play for, Conlon doing well to absorb all those punches, hopefully your man gets tired.

keano_afc

You'd have to think the surrender monkey will be tired after all that. Conlon has to fight his own fight, pick his shots.

JONJO THE MISER

COM ON CONLON.
