Conlan moves into quarters with brilliant showing; early faults a problem for show jumper Broderick

Ireland’s world champion Michael Conlan provided an exhibition of boxing at the Riocentro earlier today, recording a unanimous points’ victory over the Armenian Aram Avagyan, writes Daragh Ó Conchúir.

Conlan was awarded every round by the three judges apart from one Jose Del Puerto Trueba, who deemed that Avagyan had somehow been the better fighter in the second round.
