Irish camp fume at Nolan’s controversial exit

Irish welterweight Adam Nolan controversially crashed out of the AIBA World Elite Championships at the last-64 stage despite ending up with more points than his opponent yesterday.

The Bray BC southpaw dropped a split decision to France’s Souleymane Cissokho following three tight rounds in Almaty, Kazakhstan.

The Brazilian judge scored all three rounds 10-9,10-9,10-9 to Nolan, but the Azerbaijani and Danish judges leaned in favour of Cissokho (9-10,10-9,9-10) and (10-9,9-10,9-10).
