Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Please, please, please - let Nevin and Fierro be stereotypical Irish & Mexican style fighters respectively.

I'm hungry for a bloody battle.

 

Aw, schucks, only one for two. :yep

Fierro is indeed a cast-in-the-mold dyed-in-the-wool Mexican body slugger, but Nevin ain't no come-hither mick bleeder. He's a cutie boxer.


...and he should have been given a lot more points there for his counter punching from the outside. :blood

 

Nevin is getting sketchy warnings. :err

He was told not to push down on Fierro's head after throwing punches at it.

 

Well, at least it's two-way over-officiating. He just warned Fierro for a slap in an exchange.

 

7-4 to Nevin in the 2nd, and 12-9 overall.

Atlas feels the lead should be bigger.

The 1st should certainly have been wider, but that 7-4 is fine IMO.
