    If Nevin medals he'll have done it the hard way. Bantamweight is possibly the most talented weight class there currently is in the amateur game, and the draw sheet has probably thrown up the most lob sided draw of any weight class in the Olympics.
    Just to medal Nevin has to beat the Kazahk Abutalipov in his next fight. Abutalipov is a 2008 Olympian, and won the most recent World Series of Boxing Bantamweight division (which is how he qualified).

    After that he'd have to beat the winner of Oscar Valdez and Anvar Yunusov. Valdez who was the youngest boxer at the last Olympics, and won a bronze at Featherweight in the 2009 World Championships. He's a terrific fighter and brings and all action come forward style typical of a Mexican, he's a little slow of foot but possesses terrific timing to help counteract this.
    Yunusov is a bronze medal winner at the last World Championships and the reigning Asian champion. Yunusov is a quick handed southpaw, with good reflexes and timing, him vs Valdez should be a cracker but I'm picking the Mexican to take it.

    Anyway if he were to win those fights to make the final he'd have to beat one of Lazaro Alvarez (reigning World champion), Joseph Diaz (impressive US champion who probably would have had more international success were he not just 18 years old), Sergey Vodopyanov (former World champion at Bantamweight and Silver medallist at Featherweight) and Brazilian Robenilson Vieira (2008 Olympian, looks a decent fighter, but probably not as good as the other 3).

    Meanwhile on the other side of the draw we have Luke Campbell, and 2009 World champion Dalakliev from Bulgaria, and that's about it...., 6 of the 8 World quarter finalists in one side of the draw, and 8 of the 10 best fighters at the weight imo on one side of the draw. Two very good fighter in Shiva Thapa and Shayimov from Uzbekistan have already been knocked out on that side, but with so many top class fighter obviously some good ones had to go early.

    Just a shame really it's not a bit better spread out.

    It's really annoying there's no scores on the screen during the bouts. They used to show them before didn't they? Even if they were to show the scores from the previous round it would be handy.

    They do show the scores of the previous round, between rounds.

    The Lithuanian that just fought there, was 100% bit shots going forward- the crowd loved it at 60kg

    Can see him being outfoxed though.

    Wouldn't mind seeing them go at it in a 5 round WSB type fight, terrific bout and a deserving winner. Ramirez carries quite a lot of power imo

    Jimmy Magee is ruining the flights for me.

    He misses EVERYTHING. all the big punches pass him by.

    All he talks about is stats and loves showing off.
