Default Sutherland closes in on medal

Dublin middleweight Darren Sutherland is now just one win away from an Olympic boxing medal after a thrilling fourth-round stoppage win over game Algerian Nabil Kassel on Saturday.
Sutherland started slowly and was forced to recover from an early 4-1 deficit but began to dominate in the third when a big right hand forced his opponent to take a standing count.
Starting the fourth round one point ahead, Sutherland briefly saw his lead wiped out but responded by pouring forward, re-establishing his advantage and decking Kassel with another big right.
The groggy Algerian gamely got to his feet but the fight was as good as over and when another right hand forced Kassel to take a third standing count with seconds remaining, the referee intervened.
Afterwards Sutherland, who had a bye in the first round, revealed his long wait in the Olympic Village had helped him get over the star-struck early days and get down to business.
Sutherland said: "It dragged and the aura of the Olympic Village died out. You had Tyson Gay or Rafael Nadal walking past you but you just thought, so what, I'm here to do a job.
"It was a tough and entertaining fight. I'm never in a dull fight. There was never a period where I was trying to protect my lead. I'm always going to fight right to the end."

Kenny Egan was robbed in his final by dumb**** judges, scoring shots for the chinese lad for shots that kenny blocked and landed on his gloves. still disgusted.

lumachenko was the top man but kenny wasnt far behind.got the heros welcome he deserves when he got back today.

he was landing clean shots and the judges were giving the chinese lads the points. ****ing crazy, still pissed off. when he was on the podium, he kissed the gold medal when it was already around the chinese lads neck. kenny is a class act. should of been his medal
