There has been huge backlash about Michael Conlan’s loss at The Olympics – and now Bressie has taken part in the rant.
The Mullingar man has spoken out against the Olympics for their judging panel in boxing.
Michael Conlan represented Ireland in the men’s bantamweight competition but lost out to Vladimir Nikitin from Russia.
Social media has gone into overdrive with many saying that the fight was fixed from the start despite the Irish man throwing and landing more punches.
The Blizzards frontman took to Twitter to show his disgust at the judges final decision.
Had enough of this shite. Seriously what is happening with these judges. Conlan beat shite clean out of him. #RioOlympics2016

Interesting to see #iaba as corrupt as rest of them. At least specsavers have their new advert sorted

Forgetting my bias for Conlan I am just sick of the rampant corruption in sport. Athletes put life on line and greed destroys it

Looking back at body language of judges that decison was as obvious as fart in mass from round 1 and stinks like it too.

The Westmeath native later showed his support for Irish sailor Annalise Murphy who won her competition and came out with silver.
Luckily the corrput boxing judges have nothing to do with the sailing. All fingers crossed for @Annalise_Murphy #RioOlympics2016
