Meng Fanlong crushes Ahmed Barki

China's Meng Fanglong books his place in the last 16 of the Olympic light-heavyweight class.

China's Meng Fanglong has crushed Ahmed Barki of Morocco by nine points to advance into the last 16 of the Olympic light-heavyweight class.

Meng boxed well in the opening round, landing a few decent lefts from his southpaw stance to take a 4-2 lead.

A big shot from Meng sent Barki off balance early in the second, forcing the referee to call break - however, no count was given.

The China fighter was controlling the contest and unleashed a great combination in the closing stages to extend his commanding lead to six points.

Meng continued to dominate in the final round but was docked two points for a low blow.

However, the Moroccan had no answer to the skill of Meng, who ran out a comfortable 17-8 winner.
