A Commonwealth Games boxing match only lasts nine minutes, but there was a wee bit of afters outside the ring following Nick Devlin's split-decision win over Ebenezer Ankrah from Ghana. A tight bout, the Scotsman was granted a little bit of breathing space courtesy of Ankrah's point deduction for handling in the third round. At times, it appeared he was hanging onto the 25-year-old with dear life, but when the warning was issued, Ankrah's supporters and Ghanaian media were livid.
