2008 Beijing Olympics Results: James Degale Hangs On to Win Gold Medal in Epic Men’s Boxing Middle Weight Bout

Great Britain’s James Degale hung on to win gold in the men’s boxing middle weight division at the 2008 Beijing Olympics on Saturday, out-pointing Cuba’s Emilio Correa Bayeaux 16-14

 

Degale looked like he would cruise through the fight after building a 6-1 advantage in the first round and boosting his lead to 10-4 after two but Bayeaux came to life in the third and used a 6-1 frame to pull to within two points.

 

In the final round both fighters exchanged scoring blows twice and in the end it was Degale that took the gold.
