Zaur Antia: 'You watch fights? You know. Anyone with eyes could see it was 5-0 every round'

That’s seven of the nine Irish fighters here who have lost their openers, but this was surely the most infuriating.

Daina Moorehouse brought the best of herself to a long-awaited Olympic debut on Thursday night but met her Waterloo against an opponent born in Napoleon’s home town in a manner that pours more scorn on amateur boxing.

The 4"11” flyweight fighter from Bray was brilliant through this contest against Wassila Lkhadiri who was born in Ajaccio in Corsica and enjoyed a raucous home support – and the benefit of some extraordinary judgements from the five adjudicators ringside.
