Could this be the end of the United States' Games? 9.37pmUp next: Errol Spence (United States) vs Krishan Vikas (India) End of Round 3I think Selby has done enough in this one. We await a decision... Round 3Selby is looking a tad weary. Round 3Great exchange from the two, who both lands heavy rights. Round 3Selby has been warned, giving two points to Suleimanov. Round 2Selby is back on top now. Great right-left combination. Fantastic stuff! Round 2The action has settled down now. Great counter from Selby. Round 2Suleimanov has started the second like a house on fire. End of Round 1Selby has started well, but did get caught with a lively right hand. He leads 6-5. Round 1Great combination from Selby, he is on top. Round 1Selby works well to the body.

We're in for a good final round. 8.35pm9-6 to Warren. Good start, but Oubaali is dangerous. 8.33pmWarren looks sharp... so does Oubaali. 8.27pmHe will have to be on top of his game, as Oubaali was impressive in his opening fight.

He goes on to face Canada's Custio Clayton in the last eight for a shot at a guaranteed medal. 3.42pmThe Welshman has done what Ogogo did yesterday and catapulted himself right into medal contention by beating Kavaliauskas. 3.40pmThat was a brilliant final round from Evans, truly remarkable stuff! He turned the tables on Kavaliauskas, who, if anything, tried too hard in that final round. End of Round 3Evans kept his range well after getting in front. I think he has done enough!

End of Round 2Nice counter from Evans to end the round and he has pulled the scores back. It's 5-5 heading into the second. Set up for a grandstand finish! Round 2Kavaliauskas has adopted a wide stance and is sitting back willing Evans onto him. Round 2Right hook from Evans finds the body of Kavaliauskas. The Lithuanian replies with one of his own. Round 2Evans leads off but gets caught as he comes inside. Quick reflexes from the Lithuanian. Round 1Deep concentration by both men. Plenty of feinting. Round 1Kavliauskas lands with the right. Round 1Tentative start here. Both men are looking for an opening. Evans who lands with a stiff jab. 3.25pmThis is a tough assignment for Evans.
