    Conaln's been taking tips off Fowler it seems. Wasn't the travesty he made out. Just needed an excuse as he wasn't good enough.

    Bro I don't know what you were watching if you think the first round was a toss up. Conlon clearly won Rnd 1, Rnd 2 was correctly scored and Rnd 3 was the toss-up that could have gone either way.

    Robbery? No. Badly judged first round? Yes.

    The fight is not a robbery.

    Conlan is a whiner. Commentators were incredibly biased. Conlan look flashier, but he took cleaner shots through out the fight.

    He can make a case the the first round was misjudged and was his round, but the 2nd round could have gone either way and the 3rd round belong to Nikitin. It was a very close fight and Conlan didn't get the decision.

    Combine that with a anti-Russian bias, and you have a story that's overblown out of proportions.

    The anti-Russian stuff is getting on my nerves, especially about doping as if everyone else isn't doing it. The sanctimonious presenters and pundits at the BBC getting on their moral high horses about doping when our own athletes like Liz Armistead and Mo Farrah (just for starters) are BLATANT drug cheats.

    Mo Farah is an obvious doper. His coach is Alberto Salazar, a man who specializes in doping his athletes. Jama Aden was also a key member of his team and has just been arrested in Spain on doping charges. It was when he started working with these people that he suddenly went from a middle of the pack runner to dominating and becoming one of Britains most succesful ever athletes.

    He has also missed drugs tests but basically been allowed to get away with because he's UK athletics golden child and darling of the media. One of the tests they turned up unanounced to where he was training but he did a runner, got in his car and drove off. So they followed him to his own home, were knocking and ringing the door bell for over an hour and he hid in the house, not answering the door. He later claimed he didn't see them at the track or hear them at his front door:lol:

    Liz Amristead also missed three drugs tests leading upto these Olympics which should be an instant four year ban, but once again, UK Athleteic ignored anti-doping rules and let her get away with it.

    I think I got mixed up with 1st and third rounds when writing my post. Basically my point is it was a close one.

    Anyone who was ignorant as to what goes on and reads your posts may actually think you know what you're talking about - which you don't.

    UKAD banned her, CAS allowed her to compete.

    Massive, massive difference.

    I honestly don't know what people are watching, it was a clear victory to Conlan!

    People are banging on about rd1 and rd3 being a toss up? If it was such a toss up then why did all 3 judges give Nikitin the round. Pure corruption.

    Can you honestly look at that fight and say 3-0 was the right result?
    I'm glad Conlan spoke out. It'll give the remaining fighters a more level playing field which should have been in place at the start.

    And who do you think pulls the strings of CAS? UK athletics is filled with cheats, same as everyone else.

    She deliberately missed three tests and should be banned. She's a cheat, end of.

    Same as Mo Farah working with PED dealers. Anyone who thinks these people aren't doping is naive and stupid beyond belief.

    How is Usain Bolt setting faster times than all the guys who have been busted for cheating? It's not like they weren't elite level athletes who doped to get to a world class level, they were and then cheated to get even faster.

    Are we really to believe this guy is legit? Like Armstrong he appears bigger than the sport and so people don't like saying it but anyone with even the slightest semblance of common sense can work out that something isn't quite right here.

    Add in that a number of his training partners have also been busted and you have a pretty compelling argument that he's probably cheating IMO.
