Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

"You have to wonder does he turn pro or does he go for a third Olympics?"

- Teddy Atlas


You blithering moron, Bob Papa just told you before this match, not twenty minute ago, that he's signed a contract to turn semi-pro with AIBA after this. atsch

 

Sure it wasn't Ivan Dychko in the wrong light?

 

Your gold medalists so far:

Zou Shimng (China)
Luke Campbell (UK)
Roniel Iglesias (Cuba)
Ryoto Murata (Japan)
Oleksandr Usyk (Ukraine)
Robeisy Ramirez Carrazana (Cuba)
Vasyl Lomachenko (Ukraine)

 

Man, I'm pumped for all the remaining bouts.

Evans vs. Sapiyev, may the best man win.

I fully expect Mekhontcev to destroy Niyaymbetov, who shouldn't have even made it this far.

The rematch between Cammarelle and Joshua should be excellent and a rightful "main event". I think old Robby's been on fine form for the most part and should have enough left to nick it, but we are in London..

 

Flyweight medal ceremony.

Nyambayar is trying to hide the fact that he's crying as they drape him with silver.

 

Ramirez Carrazana is over the moon, grinning like a fool and giving everybody a double thumbs up.

 

:yep

Alojan and Conlan can hold their heads high, and so they are.

 

Only Nyambayar isn't quite "over it" yet (understandably, he fell short less than an hour ago) but still sucks it up for the photo ops with his peers.
