The Offical Team USA Olympic Boxing Thread

It's US boxing but the Japanese just got robbed.

About to watch the Michael Hunter Vs. Drago HW fight replay from earlier.

 

US OLY team needs to step their "Condition" game up.
(It's only 3 rds, WTF are you winded for???)

Not controversial IMO, Hunter not as good as Ivan.

Been watching this and is there one Heavyweigth or Super Heavyweight that can throw punches in Combination? I just watched two Super Heavyweights in what looked like a drunken bar fight. One punch at a time and sloppy footwork afterwards then clinch and repeat over and over...:-(

 

:barf I feel you on this. It's awful

 

A lot of Klitschko wannabe styles out there in the bigger divisions.

 

zab was an alternate on the same team with floyd, tarver, vargas, david diaz and nate jones.

he loss to david diaz in the trials.

 

i'd like to see how they do the draws for the brackets. seems to me we had to face plenty of russians (or former soviet) boxers in the opening rounds of competition.

 

Well I know they have rankings, that's how Rau'shee got his First round bye. Now how do they rank beyond that I think is determined by the AIBA and then from there they just take the highest ranking guys at the olympics and plug.

So if the World rankings of guys at the olympics is 1, 4, 8, 17, 19, 20, etc.

1 will be the 1 seed
4 will be the 2 seed
8 will be the 3 seed, etc.

 

They rank the top four only, I think. The rest is lottery.

 

americans falling liek dominos this tournament.
