Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Anyone watching the Bantams?

I wasn't too impressed with Alvarez. Diaz ran him pretty close. Vodopiyanov should have beat Vieira.

 

Nevin looks **** hot, could be in a with a shout for Gold !

 

Vodopiyanov lost? Maybe he's past it.
I don't like Nevin's boxing. He's running stalling too much. I hope he loses soon.

For the next bout, GO Oscar Valdez!

 

Aww **** I missed the Cuba vs USA match. Nevin looked class.

Does anyone know much about the Italian Campbell is fighting? They usually do well at the Olympics.

 

Heavyweights coming up.
Russia vs USA, Beterbiev vs Hunter.

:happy:happy

 

Valdez and John Joe Nevin are fighting next, this one will be a interesting! Classic boxer vs Mexican

 

Good 1st rd for Hunter. Looks sharp.

 

Russian seemed to go up a gear in the 2nd and Hunter getting sloppy. A bit lucky still to he up imo.

 

Very close.

 

Hunter looks a little bit like Bowe sometimes. face I mean.

 

That fight really went downhill after the 1st round, I thought the Russian did enough to win in the end. Hunter seemed badly gassed after the 1st.

Russia wins on countback.

 

Pulev's little brother Tervel up next.

 

Beterbiev has looked average at best ever since moving up to HW 2 years ago. Mekhontsev is a way better HW and a much better matchup against Usyk. From a team standpoint switching those two has been a huge mistake.

 

War Pulev!

 

Agree. The bout in the worlds between Usyk and Beterbiev was really not as close as the numbers said. I had it very wide for usyk. Beterbiev doesn't move well enough.
