Kazakhstan's Serik Sapiyev won the men's Olympic welterweight (69kg) gold on Sunday with a 17-9 win over Britain's Freddie Evans. Having lost in the semi-finals, Ukraine's Taras Shelestyuk and Russia's Andrey Zamkovoy won bronze medals.
By taking silver, Evans claimed Britain's fourth boxing medal of the London Games after bantamweight Luke Campbell and flyweiht Nicola Adams both took golds while Anthony Ogogo finished with bronze in the middleweight division.
Evans, the European champion, failed to cope with the impressive workrate of Sapiyev, the world silver medallist, who worked his jab throughout the three rounds and never let the Briton find his range.
