No doubt. NBC showed several of his fights during the olympics. He was beaten by Ward in 2004 and won silver in 2008.
The amateur system is so ****ed these days. :-( Makes for nothing but a bunch of cautious, pitty pat runners. Ooo look, you landed one more punch than the other guy. Good job. You sure kicked his ass. :roll:
Yes unfortuniatly and he embodies everything that's wrong with amateur boxing. He's a ****ing disgrace to boxing and Italians. His Olympic fight VS Oleksandr Usyk was one of the most pitiful, gutless, things that i'v ever seen inside a ring. I thoroughly enjoy'd watching Chakhkiev destroy him in the finals and win the Gold medal. **** Russo. Post this **** in the Euro section, gain some insight.
