Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Honestly I have no ****ing idea! I just watch the fight leaving it to the judges.

Can you explain?

(I didn't vote because I don't talk robberie)

It is a **** scoring system and has been for a long time. I felt Joshua won the World Championships but he lost to the hometown guy. This is not a case of RJJ in 1988 being robbed, it is a case of a dreadful scoring system and judges being swayed a bit by the crowd.

The reality is that body shots rarely get scored and if a guy throws a combination of 3 fast shots that all land he is never going to get 3 points, because the judge cannot hit the button fast enough with the other judges also hitting it fast enough at the same time to add points.

If it was simply corruption then how the **** did GB win bronze rather than silver in the gymnastics? Why didn't the diving duo get a medal instead of 4th place?

If you didn't even know that. Then stfu about robberies.

 

Some people are totally ******ed calling Ogogo fight a robbery.

 

Familiar with amatuer scoring and somewhat with olympic scoring - three judges have to register at the same time a clean shot with "sufficient" power, so a jab could be the same as a power punch, and it does not award flurries or shoe shines in theory because the winner of an exchange will get a point. It favors the deliberate one-two one-two Klitshcko ranged style where there is no engagement and clean shots snap the head back in general, from a jab or punch.

 

That's over doing it. The worst is a lot of ****ers try to sound all smart and saying ******ed **** like

'TSK TSK TSK I'M SO SO SO ASHAMED OF MY COUNTRY WAH WAH WAH'

THE UKRAINIAN DOMINATED THE FIGHT atsch

 

yep. it's a joke. pretty ****ed.


the azerbijiani fighter getting 10 points for hitting the canvas more than his opponant yesterday was horrific. only 2 points behind.


it is a bad decision. but it was pretty close.


i dont think ogogo won but it wasnt like the ukrainian dominated either. thats all im trying to say.

 

The results were fixed:
Khytrov: 2+3+3+7+6+7+10+8+7=53
Ogogo: 5+5+5+6+5+6+7+6+7=52

And judges somehow scored it it as 52-52

 

You still haven't explain how they score.

(were you talking to me?? I didn't talk about robberies...)

 

It's a poor scoring system IMO, but have no idea how to score a fight

 

They should be scored like Pro fights.
Take off those those ****en kiddie hats & go to a 10point must.

Bring back the KO.

 

Jabs don't generally count in amateur boxing unless they visibly snap their opponents head back. Which Khytrov did numerous times against Ogogo.
Glancing, light, slappy pot shots generally don't score either, but they did for Ogogo.

 

Holy **** you're right. Khytrov's total was 53, Ogogo's only 52

 

:yikes

 

That's actually exactly what's happening next year :good

 

Let me make this short.

1- Savon dancing and doing **** all in the third round for the first minute=zero points.

2- Ogogo didn't get dominated for ****. It was a relatively close fight, that was no robbery.

See the bottom line is, every UK Boxer now NEED TO KNOCK OUT his opponent in order for ESB to say 'oh he won fair'
