some amateurs have big punching

power but it is harder to knock out

an amateur wearing headgear, and

a knock out is a pretty definite way

to win a fight as a pro. But winning

gold does not guarantee success on

the next level.

One referee has been

expelled, another suspended and 12

protested fights, because of messy

tournaments. Top amateur boxer Vasyl Lomachenko of

Ukraine was able to repeat his gold medal

from 2008, but it wasn't good enough to see

him be the first man in history to repeat as

the winner of the Val Barker Trophy for the

tournament's outstanding boxer, which has

instead gone to Kazakhstan's welterweight

gold medalist, Serik Sapiyev.

Joshua was stunned that he had a major fall from gold to silver in the fight against Italy’s defending champion Roberto cammarelle.

Leeds-born Adams

knocked out her

opponent in the second

round and the flyweight

fight to win by 16-7.
