Olympic Draw (Boxing)

thought ochigava scored more clear shots and deserved to win

 

well done katie taylor

 

Great day for British and Irish boxing.

 

:rofl yes it does matter

anybody else think that last round was level?

We have killed amateur boxing in the UK with the scoring at this olympics...

what kid in their right mind would make the sacrifices needed to become a top amateur boxer knowing full well that the judges at the top level are incompetent and you are most likely not going to get what you deserve and people think it is ok to justify it with "close could have gone either way"...

 

A KD means nothing in amateur boxing. Apart frm maybe giving you a psychological boost. it does nothing on the score cards. Counts the same as a jab that lands flush

 

She did

but the Olympics is like the eurovision song contest in my opinion, the scoring is a joke and the whole event should be seen as a joke.

 

:yikes

 

I watched the Katie Taylor fight on a crap stream.

Looked seriously close. I thought Katie looked hurt in the final round.

Am I right in thinking it could have gone either way.

 

U clearly have no.idea about amateur boxing if u think a knockdown means anymore than 1 point.

I thought the last round was level.

I don't even know how the Russian got 8 points in the whole fight, she didn't want to fight and hardly threw shots.

 

It was too close for comfort but no Katie just about deserved it

 

Get yer hands out of your pockets!

 

I know that but i am wondering if they even counted the punch that put her down. scoring that final round level was a disgrace

 

I know that but regardless, it should have been scored a KD.

also If you thought that last round was level then you clearly have no idea about scoring in amateur boxing.
