Don't miss watching this kid fight! BTW he will turn pro after the Olympics. Here is the story: http://www.nbcolympics.com/boxing/news/newsid=186945.html#korobov+scores+easy
I can't watch Olympic boxing, the scoring system makes me mad, i mean i just start filing sick and have to change the channel.
I always here he's one of the top p4p amateurs. What you never see though is a top 10 p4p list in the amateurs or anything like that. Anybody who knows about the amateurs care to compile one for me? I wouldn't have a clue but I'd reckon Raushee Warren and probably Zou Shiming would join him in a top 10 p4p list.
Eh, a rough one I would have Korobov in the top 5. Rau'shee Warren, Shiming, Tischenko, Gavin, Andrade, Selimov, Vodopoyanov would all be up there too.
Cheers. :good I thought about Andrade aswell, that guys pretty huge. Shiming looks almost impossible to outpoint aswell and Warren is just a beast.
Professional scoring is bad but the amateur system is beyond ****ed. 1-0 after 3 rounds.:huh Maybe their buzzers are malfunctioning?
No, they're following the scoring criteria extremely closely and strictly. When I officiate I'm a points Nazi too; rarely do I have scored going past 20 points.
I know, but with so few points awarded you wouldn't think these guys are throwing a thousand punches a round. I'll watch more closely and see if some of the scoring is reasonable.
