Just overall the talent pool at these games is significantly better than at 2008. Think we'll see a lot more successful pros emerge from these games.
^^ Yeah, that would be a kick in the bollocks if true. Id feel for him if it was to be overturned like that.
U think? Theres a lot of VERY average guys from random places in the world. I think the best guys are better than 2008, but the worst guys are worse (make sense?!:huh)
youwin priced vijender up at 150/1 pre tournament and there was some 100s and 66s still around a few days ago, its hard to work out how they came up with such a price.
I see what you mean. But in the first round there's always some randomers that managed to qualify because they're from a weak region. Much easier to qualify from Africa or Oceania than Europe or the Americas. The guys getting through to the last 8 seem a lot better than those that got to that stage in Beijing.
I think the problem was, the Ukranian was scrappy and often smothered his work, whilst Agogo, moved and landed cleaner. As we have seen judges tend to favour the odd clean shot landing over a scrappy combination. So he may have landed more leather, but I think he was his own worst enemy in the fight. Agogo boxed better than I thought he would. Not a robbery, just depends what you like, clean boxing or pressure.
Just realised I got my money back from PaddyPower because it went to a countback in the Ogogo fight. second time in 2 days thats happened now.
Someone mentioned in the general forum version of this thread how when you add the scores it comes too 53-52.
