Commonwealth Games Boxing Starts 5th October

Callum Smith-Aston Brown is on now.

 

Just looking at the Commonwealth Games schedule one thing strikes me, there are barely any Canadians only something like 4 maybe 5 are in India and only 2 are still in the competition.

Callum Smith just beat a Scottish kid comfortable victory and has guaranteed himself at least a Bronze Medal.

 

Paddy Barnes in 8/11 for the gold- good bet?

 

cool.thanks.
when is haroon fighting the Indian Lad? Today?

 

Monday

 

well done Paddy Gal, not sure how he won that but he did!

 

Is anyone else getting pissed off with the Indian crowd, not sure what it is but I find them really annoying. The judging is biased as hell India-Bostwana on now 4-0 to the Indian and before the Indian scored his first point (which IMHO should not have been scored) the kid from Bostwana should have had 2 points atsch

 

they are just ultra supportive folks that is all. This is common with having a home tourney, right?
LOL..but whats tickin me off is the bullshyt scoring.

i am expecting the Indian to beat Khan by 15 points..lol

 

Khan has no chance even with fair scoring. What pissed me off about the fans is that their jumping up and down and squeaky voices cheering anything that goes on the board for an Indian, but even worse then that is how hugely biased and uneducated they are, they booed the result after Obed won yesterday which is ridiculous he won clearly and was nearly robbed.
Talking about Obed he is out in two bouts he is taking on Callum Johnson of Scotland.

 

why people get pissed off with amateur boxing scoring is beyond me.

It is not just the fighters that are amateur.

The scoring has always been bias and suspicious.

 

It's not as ''hometown'' as the Olympics in Beijing.

We've not seen a fighter stood on his head and declared the winner yet, to my mind anyway.

Kenny Egan was one of the biggest victims, every time his opponent threw a punch the scoreboard went into overdrive, and should have been disqualified for holding.

It's still bad, but I'd rather see low scoring so people can moan about punches not scoring, rather than arguing over who should have had what.

 

Exactly, its low scoring, but low scoring for both.

I've seen just one fight where the wrong fighter got the nod, Martitius v Kenya I think.

So that not bad in over 150 bouts!

 

just saw kumar v the mauritian bloke cracking fight, and sean the welsh fella beat tyrone, bloody fast counters from the welsh fella and he's up against the mauritian bloke next

 

I think the Aussie lad was unlucky here.

 

england vs scotland :happy
