Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Ytalo Perea Castillo vs. Roberto Cammarelle :bbb

 

Damn, Cammarelle looks nice.

Quick right hooks while dropping his head offline, combos from medium range while bending his neck and keeping his eyes on the prize, nice snap on everything. OHHH, hurt his man two minutes in.

The gold medalist and 2-time world champion is a terrific overall package.

Castillo doesn't even necessarily look all that bad, but is completely outclassed.

 

And yet in the mysterious quagmire of amateur scoring, that was as close as a 4-2 round? atsch While round 1 of Omarov vs. Breazale was 5-0??

 

Roberto is by far the best SHW we've seen today.

Very tight and pretty style.

 

32 years old? Why isn't he boxing for money? :? Surely the pay and benefits in the Polizia di Stato aren't that good?

This guy could breeze his way to an EBU title in a year flat, I bet.

 

Holy ****, wins over Rozhnov, Pulev (x2), Price (x3), this guy's resume is amazing.

I mean, I've heard of him before, but first impression seeing him live, DAMN. :shock:

 

...and he has a chin on him!!

(although brawling with that dude in the closing seconds during his desperate final assault was stupid)

 

18-10 to RC.

Uh, sure, I guess it was that close. :!:

 

:nod

He needs to turn after these Games. The HW division could use him.
