Robeisy Ramirez sets up Tugstsogt Nyambayar final

Cuba's Robeisy Ramirez has demolished Irish flyweight Michael Conlon to reach the gold medal bout.

Ramirez took his time in the opening round and studied the Irishman before unleashing a rapid torrent of combination punches, switching nicely from upstairs to downstairs.

Conlon made a strong start to the second, but the Cuban soon regained control of the bout and opened up a four-point advantage.

Ramirez did not let up in the third round and continued to pummel the Irishman, causing the referee to deliver a standing count.

The Cuban was very impressive in clinching a 20-10 decision.
