Cammarelle knockade Zhang i OS-finalen

Regerande supertungviktsvärldsmästaren Roberto Cammarelle övertygade stort i finalen och hade en ointaglig poängledning när han knockade Zhang. Det är ovanligt att se amatörboxarna vinna både semin och finalen på KO. Nu får vi hoppas att den 28-årige italienaren tar steget över till proffsringen, det vore ett välkommet tillskott.
