"you're a hero, we're so proud of you, BRONZE medallist paddy barnes" - shut up Marty for Gods sake - that's the last thing he wants to hear!

For those that watch boxing, would he have been expecting to have a decent chance in a final against either of the two lads fighting now?

Gutted for Paddy but he showed great humility in defeat there!

So so unlucky

Paddy Barnes proved today what a fantastic boxer he is. He has come on some way in 4 years.

Fair play to Zou and Barnes at the end of the fight. Great camaraderie between 2 great boxers.

I expected Barnes to be beat comfortably. No shame in getting beat on countback to one of the greatest fighters ever.

Doesnt really work like that though doe sit? These two lads could be the 2nd and 3rd seeds for all I know. They look lively enough anyway.

Top man Paddy:

Barnes magnanimous in defeat. “The more skilful boxer won,” he said. “I tried hard to pin him down. He has so much ring confidence, that why he is the champion.”
