Bronze for Parker 03 May 2010

Super heavyweight (+91kg)
In the day's crowd-pleaser, New Zealand's Joseph Parker and Croatia's Filip Hrgovic traded punches in a closely-matched bout that saw the scores remain within one point of each other for most of the match. In the end it was the Croatian who managed to gain the upper hand in the final round and push ahead to an 8:6 victory, as Parker left the ring nursing an injured nose.
The future looks bright for 17 year old Joseph Parker who showed he can foot it with the best in the world .
Hrgovic will face France's Tony Yoka in the final. After a close bout yesterday, Yoka today pulled away from the start, conceding only one point on his route to the final.
"I wanted to control the bout to conserve my energy," Yoka said, "as I knew I could end up in the final tomorrow. I put my foot on the brake pedal a little because I could tell I was leading by quite a wide margin - seven points I think - and the main aim was to be in the final. I'll be faster than the other guy tomorrow."
