Quarterfinals


Condon won by knockout in the third round against the only non-British competitor in the bantamweight. McGurk came out well against Thomas, but Thomas finished stronger. The bout between Webb and Perry was the tightest, with Webb's win coming through the referee's decision after the two judges deadlocked.


Semifinals


Thomas had been seeded into a bye for the round. Webb and Condon had a tight bout, with Condon winning narrowly.


Final


The two boxers fought a physical bout up close, in which Thomas fared better.
