Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

No wonder Atlas was so fking mad, this was basically the first time I;ve watched a fight completely and the loser is declared the winner? How can you award that kind of bull**** tactics with olympic medals? Fuk that atsch

I'm not watching another fight if this is whats going on.

They should judge these fight with 10 point scores like in the pros, this punch scoring is completely ******ed if the winner only needs to connect arm punches to score.

 

He might be a good contestant for "stricktly come dancing"

 

Same shameless robberies

 

Aww man I felt gutted for that Belarusian he deserved the win, at least the crowd got behind him at the end.

Also, I think the Russo/Cuban fight gave me cancer.

seriously though, 2 people undeservedly get bronze and a silver by those 2 disgraceful decisions.

i hope they burn who ever is responsible.


both should be challenged. dont know how successful it will be.

 

aiba will be broken up after this.

it's horrific.

 

This **** really is beyond belief.

 

It better happen. Tonight was disgusting. A complete farce.

Edit: aiba broken up.

 

I haven't watched a fight since the Errol bout

 

Saw the Russo..."fight".

Utter crap with a decision that could only be termed as "inexcusable".

 

Watch the fight before that, the Azerbaijani - Belarus fight. That was the worst decision at the games so far.(could be worse than the rjj robbery)

These games stink.

The Russo fight was also terrible. Russo was basically a wrestler in there. The commentary was awful blaming the Cuban for how **** the fight was, wtf was he meant to do.

"After Belarus and Cuba immediately protested the losses, AIBA swiftly conducted reviews Sunday night, rejecting both protests about 90 minutes after the last bout."

Spence's fight was overturned due to holding yet Russo's isn't even given consideration with both Karneyeu and Larduet's protests being rejected immediately. Russo signed a 5 year contract with APB (AIBA Pro Boxing) and is going to be their poster boy so no suprise with the blatant ignoring of rule infractions when he holds for the entire 3 minutes of a round. The rumors of the Azerbaijan bribery scandel makes the Mammadov ruling look even worse.
