Barnes turns on power to close on Olympic return
Both Barnes, a bronze medal winner at the 2008 Olympics, and Joyce, are both just one win away from qualifying for the 2012 Olympics following yesterday’s victories as semi-final finishes in both the light-flyweight and lightweight classes will book tickets for the 30th Olympiad.
Barnes was trailing 4-2 at the end of the first round against Istvan Ungvari, but forced the Hungarian light-fly into a standing count in round two and the ref stopped the contest.
