I heard somewhere that they just randomly pick a winner if its a draw. Could be bollocks, but just what I heard... Wouldnt be surprised
well it was if its a draw it goes to countback and it was 53-52 after you take away the top and lowest scores from each round, they claimed it was 52-52 and then it goes to the press red or blue and it was 3-2 for Agogo, but it shouldn't have got to that point in the first place
I think we've moved on from that debate. The new debate is about the judges ability to add numbers. Which is why I think it will be overturned.
what a farce amateur boxing can be. instead of talking about the quality of the boxing most of the conversations are about what the judges do
I dont understand the countback system but its not that straightforward. Hunter (USA) vs Beterbiev (RUS) was 10-10. RUS won on countback but on here the scores show 30-29 Hunter http://www.london2012.com/boxing/event/men-heavy-91kg/match=bxm091402/index.html :happy War Ogogo
It's on twitter, few journalists have tweeted it. Quoted AIBA as saying Ukraine had "no special grounds" for appeal.
