    Jahon Qurbonov also known as Dzhakhon Kurbanov beat regining World champion Abbos Atoev 11:3 in the LH division. Out boxed Atoev and hopefully will bring home some bacon for me but he's in the hard side of the draw as opposed to our Kenneth!

    Did you see the Russian vs Ukrainian Featherweight? The Russian {Albert Selimov or something} is the reigning European and World Champ but the Ukrainian suckered him into a close range fight and outworked him, then ran for the last round. He showboated like a good thing.

    He's the favourite now for a Gold, Chinese will probably rob him too.

    Saw that bout and wasn't overly impressed at all with Atoev

    Hero, you are not reading my posts. I said I can understand the home nation exerting an influence because it is the home nation, but you are implying that actual collusion is taking place. This, I believe, is nonsense

    Nevin is on tomorrow in the 54 kg division at about 2pm Irish time. His session begins at 12 Irish time; but he is close to the end of the session, so 2 pm is about right.

    See link below for schedule on all events in Olympics

    http://results.beijing2008.cn/WRM/ENG/Schedule/BX.shtml

    His listed time is exactly 14.30 Irish time, or 21:30 China time

    Nice one- My guess is that the BBC will have him on at that time- I'll just record the whole session if I am not around.

    What a class performance by the Russian fighter just now. A perfect demonstration of how to hit and not be hit

    Bit of pressure on JJN after the other lads won already, this could be a close fight. All the best.

    9-4 nevin final score. he could make a great pro yet with defence like that. fight was perfect but for magee. to be honest i'm a big fan, and find that sad to see. i blogged about it recently, would love for him to hang up the mike

    Was that ref ever fussy. Nevin did very well. He's slippery like eel. As much as yer man tried to pin him down in the last round he couldn't.

    Nevin will have to up it hugely to get near the Mongolian in the next round

    Very good win by JJN, Mongolian looks good, but will not Hit Nevin as easily as he did the Mexican.

    He won't beat the Mongolian. However, he deserves praise for winning this fight and being our third boxer to progress into the next round.
