    I hear you puca. But we don't even know which quango tested him. I don't think it was the ioc.??? All these quangos and jobs for fat cats and we... The people of Ireland ....have been told fcuk all. We don't even know what drug is involved. Why not tell us? We pay for all these suits with our taxes. We have a right to know the full facts.

    That "OLY" syle of boxing that has been dominating the Olympics for the last couple decades is coming to an end.

    Agression is the new "technique"

    Nope, not quite. I just saw the most atrocious version of the OLY style in Frenchman Sofian Oumiha. Jumping up and down, hands flailing all over the place, launching sloppy pitty-pat shots.

    Sofiane got a dubious decision over Teofimo Lopez who was landed the harder shots.

    Eimantas Stanionis of Lithuania really impressed me today.

    If it's the female ref who's chubby and has short brown hair, she's a great ref.

    Outclassed his opponent who fought Ruenroeng's fight. It was easy work.

    People shouldn't forget Ruenroeng is one of the best pure boxers in boxing, and was brilliant as an amateur. Although 36 years old, I'm expecting him to at least hold very good accord of himself.

    A lot of guys are high on Hrgovic, huh?

    There was big hype around him 4 or so years ago, but shw' pretty stacked. Something tells me Yoka will get gold.

    Yeah he also seemed very confident and very well prepared physically and mentally. He is getting better and better very fast. I think Stanionis will go far and he is only 21.

    Thanks G. Yeah, he gets the maximum out of his attributes, pretty or otherwise.

    I see he's got that slapdash Frenchman with the weird funky gyrations up next, so that should be... interesting.
