Pat McCormack takes welterweight Olympic silver

Pat McCormack’s quest for gold came up just short in Tokyo, but he still left with a medal after securing Team GB’s 16th silver of the Games in the men’s welterweight division. The Washington on Tyneside boxer fought valiantly but his experienced Cuban opponent, who won bronze at Beijing 2008 and gold at London 2012 – both in the light welterweight category – used his veteran instincts to control the bout and keep the Brit at arm’s length.
