jarrod fletcher

he did get outworked early on

 

It is joke, did you see the cuban, he just ran.

Any kid with fighting talent should not even bother this rubbish. turn pro ASAP and make some money.

 

Yeah like Floyd Mayweather runs. Come on now, the aussie lads footwork and left hand just weren't up to scratch, he wasn't fluid enough and he got outboxed plain and simple. When i saw Fletcher in an interview before the games he said 'one punch' can change everything in boxing. In the amateur game you're there to score points, not be a tough guy. That's the problem with the aussie scene, too many 'tough' guys and not enough skill.

 

Yeah i was replying to the other guy. Mistakes happen and amateur scoring can be dodgy but it was irrelevant in this case.

 

Just watched the replay and if anyone was unlucky it was the cuban, he was the one who landed the bodyshot hence the point, at the same time Fletcher pushed his head down so he was on his knees and the referee decided to give him an 8 count (not that it means or counts for anything anyway).

 

it wasnt a clear KD for either boxer.

 

Yeah because there was no knockdown atsch Cuban hits aussie with bodyshot, gets a point for it while aussie pushes cuban down, ref doesn't know whats going on so because cuban is on the ground he gives him an 8 count. An 8 count doesn't give you any points, the only advantage it can give you in am boxing is maybe a psychological advantage.

 

A knock down gets you 2 points my friend

 

Not in the amateurs it doesn't. Fletcher had a rough draw and that score was not at all indicative of how good he actually is. He was outboxed a bit by the Cuban but they didn't give Fletcher credit for ****.

 

I watched the fight last night. The Cuban got a big lead through the first two rounds then seemed to be content with just trying to keep that lead. Fletcher just seemed a little slower and was beaten to the punch too many times.

 

yeh saw the fight. a lot of Fletchers scoring punches didnt get scored. Thought the judges were a little bias there

 

Your right mate i watched it to ... The Cuban i think clearly won the fight though

 

Yeh the cuban won, but the margin was not a true reflection of the fight at all
