That was Conlan's round IMO

Meauldsegosha

Think its over after that flurry of punches and count for Conlan.

Cuban is top class, still can't believe he is only 18.

kfallon

This Cuban is a machine, when he unloads those combinations they are hard to avoid!

Well done Michael on your bronze medal, you did us proud.

Aidric

Classy Cuban. Conlon was pummeled tbf.

FatherTed

20-10 in the end, good try by Conlon

johnmcdnl

Cuban was an animal - one of the best fighters I've seen in the Olympics so far -- and he's only 18 :eek:

Hard luck Michael but he'll be back and he'll learn from this - bronze medal at his first Olympics is a great achievement and I can't wait to see him at Rio

Shryke

Back to the studio. Jesus they love themselves.

Guy:Incognito

what was the final score? Flicked over to the athletics to see the end of the 1500m once the bell went. Lost by 7 or so at a guess?

I thought he had the 2nd round but no doubt in the result, Cuban was a machine.

20-10 Cuban was world class

leahyl

Hard luck Conlon! Bronze medal at 20 is amazing achievement though!

The Cuban was mental - brilliant boxer!

Auldloon

Well out classed there. Still performed well, he should be proud of himself.

Kerrydude1981

Thought Conlan scored more in the second round,but he probably still wouldn't have won,the Cuban only 18 and boxes like that,he is a class act

Well done Conlan though,bronze medal in the pocket,roll on Rio 2016

shrewdness

Cuba exacts it's brutal revenge on the Irish boxing team.

Hard luck Conlon but a brilliant Olympics for him, bronze medal at 20 is a great achievement.

kfallon

The 3 boys did us proud today, all down to John Joe tomorrow night.

Aidric

Defar, the Ethiopian 500mtr winner is quite cute. Showing great emotion as her anthem is being played.

kfallon

I'd like to give Michael a hug now, roll on Rio for him

Jaysus I thought she looked as rough as a bear's arse after the race!

Relay madness up next (will the Brits get it around this time?!)

I'd like to give him a hug now as well. But I'm 20 years older than him so its probably wrong.

Mysteriouschic

Conlan did well , he did his best even though the Cuban won. At least he has his bronze medal . He'll be better for the next olympics and if he won the bronze at his first olympics(I think I remember them saying it was).

Perhaps there is no love lost between the RTE boxing analysts.

Fizman

Anyone else think O'Herlihy was bang out of order there??

He's after rightly pissing me off, the ignorant old boll0x. Saying how 'disappointing' it was etc etc. The lad did the country proud, fought his heart out, but just came up against a world-class young lad who was stronger than him.

Bill is too think and ignorant to acknowledge that though.

Aidric

US run out of it at the death by the Bahamas to take the mens 4x400 relay.

I'd say it's not meant to be taken seriously, he's probably retweeting them having a laugh

Guy:Incognito

Dai Green didnt have the best leg there. Have they not got a proper 400m man to run it? Last leg was a great run.

USA beaten into 2nd.

Meauldsegosha

Another few meters I think the british guy could have got 3rd.

Tbh before the match annoys me more, asking the 3 lads their predictions, they are hardly gonna say The Cuban are they, then they'd get called unpatriotic. If it's 2 neutral countries then it's fine but if you have a vested interest leave the predictions out!

Guy:Incognito

Dai Greenes 45.5 was the slowest leg. That .7 made all the difference. They only lost out on the Bronze by .13
