Might not even bother watching it, you can sort of let it slide by when it's not this obvious but this is a joke

 

Even before all the controversies these past 2 days, the referees were starting to annoy me with the way they get involved too easily.

 

:good How the hell do they work it out then?

 

I honestly dont think they know...

 

boxing is fast becoming a joke at these games

 

One more thing - there's 5 judges. The links only show 3 scores for each round.

 

Highest score and lowest score are taken off.

 

Just a guess but perhaps they take the total score from all 5 judges then divide by 3.

Perhpas using this method Ogogo won by 0.2 of a point or something similar, I dunno:think

Edit: Obviously the score were tallied even ignore that last sentence. Maybe Ogogo managed 51.9 & Khytrov got 52.4 & once they rounded off it was a draw?

 

The commentators mentioned that they used to do that for the countback before but not anymore and the system has changed :huh

Like DrMo pointed out, Mike Hunter lost yesterday on countback even though like the Ukrainian he was one point up. The Americans would surely have kicked up a massive fuss if they thought they got shafted.

 

I honestly dont know at this stage.

but the ukranians obviously complained for a reason.


Anyway, moving on. Who we tipping in the evening sessions? Any outsiders to upset a favourite?

 

What's the fuss about , just seen, was close not like last night but close

 

at least its a fair representation of the pro game as well then I guess

 

That Ramirez from the USA struggled at times in the first round against what seemed like a pretty average opponent, odds are about right his one though I think.

 

Have backed Petrauskas the little duracell bunny guy against Keles - took 6/4 this morning.

 

Josh Taylor is in tough against Valentino. The scoring for British boxers will be really closely watched now.
