Paddy Barnes reacted angrily subsequent a 15-4 defeat to Kenya's Peter Munkai. Paddy behaviour was completely improper. O'Rourke said that he has been restricted and sent home. It's alright being irritated at a decision, but the way Paddy react rude and to do it in the ring on the world stage is just dreadful. Barnes calm boiled over at the conclusion of the fight which was for a place in the last 16. He had made all the organization in the three rounds, but his challenger was picking up the points.

The obviously disturb Holy Family scrapper threw his gloves onto the canvas in frustration at the final outcome. This sport is all about control and there is no technique that we can allow things like this to happen. O'Rourke said that Paddy let himself and his coach down very poorly. The representation of the game is at stake. The world body are very hard when it comes to regulation and I wholeheartedly back them on that.

There was a genuine threat the whole side might have been thrown out because it has happen before with other teams such as the Romanian team at the last World Championships. It is not the initial time that Barnes has cause embarrassment. When he was beaten in the semi-finals of Beijing Olympics by China's Zou Shiming he criticised the judges and was not pleased with his bronze medal. Barnes said that they can keep it for all I concern. I'm receiving drug tested here. The judges be supposed to be getting drug tested.
