Aidan Walsh (NIR) vs. Garan Croft (WAL) Commonwealth Games 2022 SF’s (71kg)

[@DLDRIMINAGH1]

Walsh is class ...its about not getting hit and scoring with your own shots.Listen to Richie Woddall he knows a thing or 2 about amatuer boxing

[@jmcm8546]

Commentator here was hoping for referee to issue warning near the end? Such impartiality!!

[@jmcm8546]

I'm a big Walsh fan, but he needs to learn to fight inside. What's his coaches doing?

[@acetofresh1]

Id argue most of the amateur circuit tends not have elite infighting ability.

[@jmcm8546]

@@acetofresh1 yes true, but sad.

I like Aidan too and have no doubt that he could fight inside if he had to, but amateur boxing rewards jab and grab tactics like this. Too much in my opinion. You can see how far guys like Okawaza from Japan have gotten without ever throwing anything other than a jab to the body--pure poison to watch. Can't really fault Aidan for wanting to win without damage if the system lets him get away with it.
