The Ukranians are right but nothing will come of it because I remember Egan 4 years ago Ireland made an appeal but an appeal can only be lodged due to refereeing decision and no appeal can be lodged against the scoring of a contest.

Yeah but the appeal was a blatant error of counting up the scores and not just dodgy scoring.

Count the scores up here back individually.

I dont know bout you but I get 53-52 to the ukranian and not 52-52 as was claimed

I completely agree but you can nearly put your house that the appeal will be refused

Lump on the brits lads, this is the most disorganised scoring and refereeing iv seen at an olympics, they judges seem to pick numbers out of their arse for some fights, joke

Ya i noticed that straight away! He had no snap in his punches.

Feel sorry for Darren O'Neill but the better man won but the scores were way off IMO (like the majority of fights so far)

Looking like the Ogogo result might be changed after all. Even after the failed appeal!! Keep an eye/ear out! And our very own Messi spotted it

absolute bollocks cant believe that countback got fucked up. but whats even more astounding is how 3 of the judges decided that Ogogo deserved the decision even tho he recieved two standing counts

[jonnytightlips]

The ref had Ogogos hand raised before the result was even read out.

And on O'Neil looking lethargic and slow. Its not the first time he has looked like that. I remember him fighting the Jap in the worlds and he fought the exact same.

Was telling everyone in the bookies the same thing.. Seems once hes in there with somebody a bit stronger its game over

[bigliamblack]

Just watched the Ogogo fight...holy fuck! Horrible decision

[McGuinty]

Woodhall was a joke and totally biased. I hope we avoid the home fighters as we will not get a fair shake.[/quote]

Richie Woodhall is always biased.. at these Olympics and in the Pro game. Like all the British commentators.. almost put me off watchin Sky.

[McGuinty]

Was never that confident in O'Neill, but Nolan could surprise alot of people.
