Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

That was a pretty good fight. Not sure why the crowd was so quite on that one.

 

Hooper is good too and fight a little like Calzaghe. Should be fun to watch.

Zamkovoy is listed at 5'9, Nolan 6'0 but i dont see Nolan beating him unless it some horrible scoring.

Spence fights #3 Vikas next, Zamkovoy/Nolan winner if he gets past that neither will be easy. If he does get to the SF then he'll probably fight Sapiyev, they fought at worlds and Sapiyev basically outclassed him. Its on youtube.

 

It's near enough and Nolan got a gift decision , no way he won the first and last round .

 

#teamusa lets see what happens tomorrow!

 

We got our Flyweight's and Lightheavy's tomorrow! Keep the streak going!

 

Ya I was thinking the same thing but didn't right that. I honestly never understand the angles or tactics for lefty vs lefty fights. Sometimes I actually think those types of fights favor hooker, which would give spencer the advantage. But like I said wtf do I know.

 

Spencer spent the whole fight loading up , wrong style for the Ams , he won't go far . The Russian's much better , he won't past him .

 

nolan will improve big time for the next fight ...much better than what we seen in that last fight

 

Spence Jr's gonna clean house, I guarantee it it!

Ramirez didn't impress much, but I suppose that the opposition was different.

Terrell needs to make some improvements, but hopefully he won't have an opponent who has a height advantage.

 

I wouldn't necessarily say that he won't go far. But ya he doesn't have the best style for the am. He's got good defense and picks his shots well though. That will serve him well in the pros. Future champ IMO.

 

Early days but I won't be shocked if you're right.One of the better performances I've seen so far.

 

Won the first clearly you clown !

 

jab as much as possible. the channel is clear for a jab. the right shoulder is up to block the counter left.




by the way this ahmed guy!!!!


WAAARRR IRAQ!!!!!........oh

 

Nolan is dangerous for pretty much anyone in the division, because of his height and his awkwardness. Plus the scoring system seems to love his style - God knows why, because I think it's as ugly as sin.

 

This south african's style is nearly identical to Mathebula's, sloppy, but accurate, and leaves himself open.
