usa/mexico olympic boxing thread

I'm pretty sure Ramirez landed more than that in round 3

 

You can turn your back or not turn your back....mexico ain't done **** for you and apparently isn't impressed by your work ethic..

That "never give up" mentality seems to only exist once you cross the border..

 

Have you ever lived in Mexico? I seriously doubt it, that's what really gave that mentality. People really have it hard down there, and was a big reality check for me. Living down there tought me many things that I would't of realy gained by staying here in the comforts of the US of A. Just like living in Germany for 8 years had it's benifits as well, making me a more cultured individual who appreciated and respects all people unlike you.

 

I know man, but I still have to try and educate the ignorant. In the end I know it might be fruitless. But at least I tried.

 

Sounds like Ramirez style is more suited for the pro's...

 

****! I had high hopes for Ramirez. Oh well I think he'll be a better pro anyway.

 

I dont understand Olympic boxing. Last time Ramirez almost had a French guy out and he barely won by 1 point. Regardless, Ramirez will be a champ one day and most olympic champs will be forgoten chumps...

 

if only Ramirez pressed the action in the earlier rounds like he did in the 3rd.

 

These Indians are pretty good.

 

Oscar Valdez is a badass. He has a really good chance to go all the way. He has a great style and seems to be a cool ass guy. I can't wait to watch him turn pro.

 

Biased much? The French guy was unlucky not to win that fight. Ramirez isn't that good, it has to be said.

 

Yeah Valdez is a great boxer with a pro style, he's proof that you can still succeed with a pro style in the amateurs.
