How has he got a minimum bronze if he is only in the semi's? If he loses his semi won't he be in the bronze medal match, where if he loses he gets nowt? I haven't really been following the boxing at the olympics so not sure how it works.
In boxing (and I think only in boxing), both losing semi finalists get bronze. Think it's always been like this or at least for years anyway.
Thanks both. Now you mention it I seem to remember having the same realisation moment at the last Olympics. They should really have to fight for it though.
Got 2 in semis and 4 more in QF`s plus 3 women in semis. The medals keep a rolling, rolling, rolling, rolling.
Super heavyweight Anthony Joshua on red button in about 5-10 mins time if yer interested. Sorry could be 2 more bouts first.
How on earth was that second round scored 8-6 he must have landed 15 clean shots that round Alao you should get 2 points for putting someone on their arse
As I understand it it's because if someone gets knocked out they're not allowed to fight again within a certain period of time so to ensure that both losing semi-finalists get fair treatment they simply don't make any losing boxers fight again.
