Hope sutherland does it. He's my favourite boxer to watch. His style is exciting but maybe not the most effective for the amateur game.
The boxers have done us proud in any case. Hopefully the high-performance program gets enough financial support to follow through for 2012 and beyond.

I really think Sutherland can get gold after watching that. He has to fancy his chances against the British guy in the semis. What a performance, I can't believe how good that was!!  |

He's got a bright future ahead of him as a pro if he can get the right training. Sutherland is one to watch for the future. Well done for getting a bronze. Let's hope we build on this year's results and improve again.

Yeah I was disappointed for him, DeGale is a prick as well which makes it worse.
Hope DeGale gets smacked around in the final. Darren is a good loser but I'm not.
The worst thing about it is if Sutherland boxed his best he is capable of beating DeGale relatively well.
Anyway, he has a great career ahead of him.
Hopefully Barnes and Egan can do it!

Well its Sutherland 5 -1 DeGale now as regards who has won in the head to heads. Degale's only win just happened to be the one which counted the most!
