andrade wins 1st fight

I can't stand olympic scoring...it makes zero sense to me!!

 

it sucks, molina who is 18 fought a ****en 26yr old on his 2nd trip to the olympics....imo, if your to ***** to turn pro, you shouldn't be allowed to fight more than once in the olmpics.....who the **** wants to see old men fight in a ameatur way of scoring event.......

 

Because there's nothing "*****" about not turning pro; it's that in some countries there's no reason to turn pro or the amateur sport is more valued and they have other lives and careers outside of it.

 

well then if they have lives outside the sport, then they shouldn't be allowed to compete more than once in the games....i just watched a guy with his 3rd trip there :-( :-( :-( :-(

that's some ****en bull****, especially when thers is kids trying to accomplish their dreams as real boxers, not part-time boxers like most guys from other countries...

 

What about people who get late starts for whatever reason? :roll:

 

These guys aren't real boxers? If anything they are just as match as our guys; they stick around and rise to the top in difficult systems, and they should just step aside so some kid from the USA can get a better pro contract?

 

that's fine, but 2nd and 3rd trips to the olympics :-( :-(

 

exactly...
they get in the way of real FIGHTERS FUTURES by just learning the politics of scoring....

that's ****en bull**** to me

 

Can you please explain your logic? What's wrong with competing at more than one Olympic games?

And why shouldn't a part timer be allowed to compete with full timers? So long as they have the skill, why should they be stopped from competing? If the kids can't beat these guys then surely they don't deserve a medal? I really don't get what your problem is.

 

cause it gets to the point where it aint about skill, it's about the politics of scoring....

i just can't stand the fact that these older men are learning the loop holes and beating guys much younger, hungrier, and more skilled then them...basically, they're just getting by the scoring system, not the actual fight :-( :-(

 

Just so you know, by the by, Rau'shee Warren, the US 112 pounder, is in his second Olympics. Guess he's not a real fighter either. You should just not talk about **** you don't know about. You're pretty much saying I shouldn't box because I don't want to turn pro and I could be beating guys who are "real fighters" that want to turn pro.

 

Exactly, amateur boxing is a sport in itself, not just a prerequisite to professional boxing.

 

What about Tarver :huh Do you mean just old in general?

 

your not in the olympics..and what i say applies to warren too, not just other countries..
i mean, you are trying to say i'm biased towards usa fighters, but really, i dont give a **** where they're from....

the rules suck and so does the scoring...
