Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

I got £50 on Iglesias to win gold ( 16-1 ) and another 50 on Veitia ( 25-1 ) . Veitia is the difficult one because of Shiming .

 

Irelands Ryan Burnett beat Barrigga and Veita at the World Youths 2 year ago and he is not even at the Olympics .

 

I knew that dude was going to get his ass whooped. I still can't believe he actually made the team.

 

where y'all watching the damn fights at.......

 

number one welter in the us..

 

The man in your avatar should be in Ireland's Olympic boxing team:yep

 

When is that Lomachenko kid fighting? Tons of hype around him, I wanna see if he can deliver on it. He looks good but I think a lot of people are overhyping the **** out of him by saying he may be the best AM ever> I don't think he comes close to Rigondeaux in the AM's and a few others. How do you guys think he does in the pros?

 

just lost....17-10

 

Who beat him? That's a pretty big ass whooping.

 

thats the dude that won gold, right....in beijing

 

I think so, don't know too much about him, just heard **** loads of hype around him and seen a few vids. Don't get me wrong, the kid looks pretty good, I just don't think he is anywhere near as good as the hype around him makes him seem.

 

He hasn't fought yet, you ass munch.

 

He isn't fighting today, so WTF are you talking about?

 

Lomachenko hasn't fought yet. He fights Thurs against Romero of the Dom. Rep.

Is he the best amatuer of all-time? Who the **** knows? He's, however, better than "pretty good" by the way.

The kids has excellent foot and handspeed, fine techinical skills, above average ring savy (already), and rapidly developing punching power.

What more do you want in an amatuer?? :-(

 

i know...i was kidding
