Boxers React To Michael Conlan Being Robbed Of His Olympic Dream In Rio

Anyone watching knew exactly what they saw.

Michael Conlan was robbed by the judges having done more than enough to defeat his Russian opponent Vladimir Nikitin, and the AIBA have, justifiably, been facing a tsunami of outrage ever since the hand of the fighter in the blue corner was raised.

Conlan lashed out at the organisation in his post-fight interview, the fans have been tweeting their fury, and media members and pundits have been expressing their disgust ever since the fight, but a number of boxers have also spoken out against what went down in Rio.

Despite claiming he was "speechless" at the time, Andy Lee has since had some very interesting things to say on Off The Ball.

It really is just bitterly disappointing for Michael Conlan.

There is no avenue to appeal, what's done is done, and he will have to come to terms with the fact that his Olympic dream has undeservedly been taken from him.
