Matvey Korobov-The best boxer in the Olympics

Maybe you should remember that 3 judges have to see a clean blow, meeting all the criteria, and press for it within a 1 second window. And also remember that the view you have on TV is different from the view they have at Ringside.

 

The amateur scoring does seem a bit strange. But as Kolya says, 3 of 5 judges have to agree to it being a scoring shot (that means they have to land in the right area, with the right part of the gloves and with adequate power) and all have to respond within 1 second of each other.

 

Ringside has its cons. Only one angle of view, and the ref could be blocking ****.

Anybody got vids of this russian guy? In action in the olympics? I saw one yesterday, he was wearing red. Could be this guy because he was awesome.

 

Is Shiming the Chinese guy that slaps a couple points early then runs for the next 3 1/2 rounds?

 

When will he fight??

 

Possibly a bit harsh but I'm fairly sure he's the guy you're thinking of.
He's not one for standing his ground and landing power shits anyway.

He's very good at what he does, but he'd make a terrible pro.

 

Alexey Tischenko (RUS)
Zou Shiming (CHN)
Manus Boonjumnong (THA)
Bakhtiar Artayev (KAZ)
Serik Sapiyev (KAZ)
Roberto Cammarelle (ITA)
Matvei Korobov (RUS)
Albert Selimov (RUS)
Abbos Atoyev (UZB)
Clemente Russo (ITA)

Those are the best pound for pund fighter in amateur rankings right now. But at least one of them already lost in the olimpics game

 

Did you get this from ABA boxing?

 

Matvey Korobov is fighting 2004 Gold Medalist Bakhtiar Artayev in his next fight. Should be a great test for him, Korobov beat him last year.

 

yep , those are for the people that don't know about the amateur fighters or don't follow the amateur boxing.

they have edited the site but is on maintenence so you will not get directly by going to the page.

 

He and a few other amateur stars form asia and europe will never see the pro ranks, they only fight to win gold medals a la Cuba, but if any of them goes pro they don;t know how fight like a pro and becomes a bad underchiever

 

saw a Somoan kid last night get KTFO carried out on a stretcher, wonder if the guy delivering the shot was the guy you mention Korobov?

 

I could tell because there are, of course, no Americans in the top 10. :roll:

 

It wasn't. They were Light Heavies and the winner was a Croatian.

 

Na it wasn't, Korobov fought some guy from Sweden.
