The Offical Team USA Olympic Boxing Thread

Joshua got a gift decision. Brits must be proud.

 

i havent seen the fight yet, fell asleep watching the fight before as it was on at 11.15.....the judges wernt british.....but its no worse than the usa where oscar can lose 8 rounds v sturm and come away with a win. where holyfield can lose 8 rounds and 'draw' with lennox.

 

All our guys are still in. A lot to be proud of...we're taking a serious medal haul in the boxing :happy

Joshua did get lucky though last night. Massively impressed by some of the US guys as well. Bring on the next few days!

 

Joseph Diaz is staying amateur until the next olympics. Then he wants to go pro.

 

The Koreans looked happy after the Jones Jr./Si-Hun fight.

 

damn he's 19 right?

And American fighters Jose Ramirez (future champ :hey) and Terrell Gausha are fighting today


4:00p EST
Uzbekistan's GAIBNAZAROV Fazliddin vs Jose Ramirez


4:45p EST
Terrell Gausha vs India's VIJENDER

I think our fighters today are going to have to be aggressive today in their gameplans. Ramirez's bodywork in his last fight was superb and I think that could work again in this fight.

 

You sure about that??
I heard him say just after his fight that he was going pro later this year.
(Possibly part of that CBS/GB deal)

 

I'm not sure if that's a good idea for Diaz. I'm surprised he has changed his mind so quickly.

 

America time!

 

****, Ramirez getting out worked

 

What channel?

 

Ramirez is gonna lose this fight , he's being outboxed , **** , only 3 left now ............
( maybe 2 by tomorrow ) :|

 

Ramirez went hard in that last round. is it enough tho?

 

he should have fought like he did in the 3rd earlier atsch
