    While I hate the fact the aussie lost, I thought the frenchman was very good. Excellent style, nice head movement.

    Sweet Pea, I think if Raynell boxes smart he'll win. He has better legs and sharper punches than the Aussie, and he's beaten the Frenchman before. France was good and very tough, but also wasn't too difficult to figure out...Fleming just got sucked into a fight with him.

    No he is not very young. Khedafi is 24, he is real warrior, a pure pressure fighter and he has not a good style to fight at amateur. He has already obtained some medal at the euro championships though.

    I have watched several fights of the Olympics and I have seen 3 fighters get robbed because of either:

    Biased scoring (China has benefitted form this the most)

    Fighters getting an early lead and then running or holding, grabbing, clinching the rest of the fight.

    It is a disgrace to the sport of Boxing.

    Did you see the 20-yr-old Ukrainian stomp his former world champion opponent 14-1??? That guy is legit!
