    The fitness of all the GB boxers has not been the best, they all seem to be gassing. There opponents should let them take the 1st round and put it on in the second and third.

    I thought Evans lost, he gave it away in the last 3 minutes but some of the other ridiculous decisions have that looking ok.

    It is not a one off, nearly every contest the scoring is a joke. even if you watch a fight and there is a clear winner you now wondering if the judges are going to give it to the other boxer.

    for all the talk before the Olympics I honestly believe this has done amateur boxing more harm than good.

    Are you saying if the gap was 2 points at the end of the 2nd then Evans only lost that round by two points?

    Agreed. Cuban did the correct thing tonight against Selby. Hold your ground, then work in the last min of each round. Ogogo looks ****ed at the end of nearly every round I've watched him in

    I agree that clayton won the last round by more than 2 but the second round was pretty much even or maybe evans by one. if that was scored properly then evans takes a minimum 5 point lead in to final round. You cant just look at one round of poor scoring and not the other?? overall evans probably won by a couple.

    your other comments are spot on though, you never know who the judges are going to go for its almost like a lottery in there.
