Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Lomachenko is really incredible with his defence while he's being aggressive and working his way in. The score really shouldn't have been that close, the Puerto Rican obviously got some points for hitting gloves there.

 

fun fact about the Kazachs this Olympics... 7 medals, 6 GOLD :!:
last medal was a bronze by the way.

 

ffs the ref warned them about stepping on each others feet. They've got refs who obviously don't know about boxing reffing the fight. Great.

 

I dont get this scoring, I thought that was a bigger round than 5-3? :?

 

It wasn't in my book

 

I'm not getting this scoring system, I have it all wrong I think, I might just give up trying

 

It's not that difficult actually. if there's a clear hit, it's a score... no matter how hard, it's a point when enough judges push their button. but apparently it's pretty hard for the judges this tournament :!:

 

it was :yep

 

boxers in the ring,,, Italian vs a Lituanian dude
