Another robbery in the Olympics for a British fighter! Clayton beat Evans ass!!!

americans are the biggest cry-babies in sport, they cheat their way to winning for years and years then when china step up and win in beijing the create their own medal table, now they are losing in both aspects (golds and overall medals) they are crying like bitches and claiming 'sit down sports dont count'....then at the same time they are being owned in boxing....rememberer my pre-tournament UK V USA olympic boxing thread where the dixies were beating their chests....now they are all deflated and making up more excuses like 'they will get knocked out in the pros'....what like RJJ? the olympic silver medalist and KO king of the world?

 

I thought i draw was fair. It bwas very close, doesnt matter who won rounds.

The Joshua fight was a bigger robbery

 

:|:|:|

 

On a brighter note i thought both lads looked quality, could both do well in the pros

 

this wasnt a robbery. close fight

not like joshua - savon

 

it was a close fight. i understand that for people who only watch am boxing ever four years how frustrating the scoring system is. it rewards fighters who take shots at range and move away, rather than constant exchanges.

all three judges need to register scoring shots at the same time via a button (seriously!) and because of this toe to toe exchanges where they swap multiple blows score horribly. believe it or not this system was brought in after rjj was robbed in a hometown dec in korea.

just to be clear, im not british. that said every close fight is not a robbery.

 

I thought Evans looked great in round 1 but then lost his concentration and then his confidence.

I had the Clayton winning by 1 - 2 points, but was close enough to go either way

Im a Brit and have seen a couple of close decisions go our way, especially the Agogo fight vs the Ukranian guy (Khytrov)

possiblly a slight advantage towards us Brits when its close but sod it, we have had our fair share of robberies in the past, its about time we have the rub of the green

 

Spot on

 

Im looking forward to the Women's semi final today between Nicola Adams and Mary Kom.

Kom is tiny and has a very fast powerful punch, she is fighting at a higher weight than normal as she is so small. she should easily beat Adams, but I guess we will see how the judges see it!

Tiny little Asian southpaw

Are all the judges British? or are they from different countries around the world?

 

They're from all over the world.

 

These Olympic games have been the worst ever and it isn't just boxing... Controversies in Fencing and Soccer have served to highlight the disgusting levels of corruption as well. I feel bad for the British people, these games will be remembered for how filthy they were...

 

No they won't. They'll be remembered for two things:

1) Being a hugely successful Olympic games that went off without a hitch.
2) the abysmal performance of America's boxers

 

Well Adams already beat Kom at the worlds a couple of months ago on neutral territory so "Kom should easily beat Adams" sounds like a load of utter tripe, frankly

 

How frustrating it must be for you then when you have to use the English language to comment on a British sport using the internet (a British invention).
