RIO DE JANEIRO: Ireland’s two-time Olympic bronze medallist Paddy Barnes admitted he was drained and on the verge of vomiting after he suffered a shock defeat to an underdog Spaniard at the Rio Games on Monday. The 29-year-old Barnes, a decorated light flyweight and major medal contender, said he had few complaints after Spain’s Samuel Carmona Heredia edged him on a split points decision. “I thought it was a close fight, but there was no way I could have fought another fight at this weight,” said Barnes, a bronze medallist in Beijing 2008 and London four years ago. “My energy was sapped and I am absolutely wrecked. I threw a lot of punches in the first round but there was nothing in them,” he added, saying that he had battled to get down to the weight and was dehydrated. “I feel like I might be sick or something, I feel that bad.”
