Ghana's abysmal London 2012 show not surprising - Azumah

Boxing Legend 'Professor' Azumah Nelson has told XYZ Sports that he is not surprised at the abysmal performance of Team Ghana at the 2012 London Olympic Games.
The former two-time WBC super featherweight Champion predicted defeat for the boxers even before the games took off and was criticized by some members of the National Sports Authority.
Three of the four boxers who represented Ghana at the games lost their respective bouts while the fourth boxer withdrew due to injury.
Speaking in an interview with XYZ News, the 54-year-old legend attributed the boxers failure to inadequate training and preparations.
“The training that they have is not good, their preparation is not good and how can you expect a medal from people like that because none of them knows what they are doing.
“If Ghana wants to go far in boxing then the country has to be serious in the sport because we have the talent but the talent has to be published” Azumah Nelson said.**
