Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

When is Joseph Diaz fighting next? He's a bantamweight. Gotta support the local guy.

 

The evening session was much better than the afternoon.

Best fight for me was USA vs FRA. The little Lithuanian was awesome :bbb

I really have no idea. Some very dominant rounds have had scores of 3-2 th slot of clean pinches being landed. The Ecuadorian had the Irish kid rocked yet lost the final round. He landed loads!!

 

That was the worst example.

I thought the Irish lad was credited for landing "punches" that were really more "touches."

If you give the fight to the Irishman close, I have no argument. But to say he won the last round is pure rubbish, and to say the Ecuadoran only landed two clean punches in that round begs for an investigation.

 

Out of all the fights I watched today that was the only one I was completely appauld by. And it was more that the scored was so wide then who won. I didn't see every bout but every bout I saw the right guy won. I watched about 16 fights today. How times could you watch 16 pro fights and say the right guy won the fight all 16 times? Not often. Ya the scorings a little duiker but today it wasn't that bad.

 

First of all Im not a racist , on the contrary : I LOVE HUMANITY , Im a Cuban who's been living in London for 27 years now and who knows history ( I teach it ) and finds their behaviour really shocking ( holding Nazi flags in plain view , etc ) considering their past (WW2) Im also a black man ( Afrocuban ) who hates Nazis and everything they represent . My statement about the Slavs is just what Hitler and his gang said about them , it's in the history books son , go check it out , that's why I find it very stupid when I see them holding Nazi flags and doing the roman salute . ¿ Do you have a problem with that ? , ¿ do you want my phone number too ? , I live in Camden Town and I stand by my words , they're ALL pigs who don't know **** about their history nor their past . Have a nice day .

 

When is SHW Anthony Joshua and Lomachenko going to fight?:huh

 

Joshua boxes on Wednesday, while Lomachenko is up on Thursday.

 

the super heavyweight field is loaded with talent

 

The home cooking towards the Brits fighters is scandalous , Savon better bring his A game if he wants to defeat Joshua and advance to the next round . Peace .

 

No its not, Taylor edged a close fight & thats it.

If you want to see scandalous scoring watch the Euro qualifiers in Turkey earlier this year, there were some absolute shockers.

 

Which British fighters have had robberies so far? Which fights are you referring to which should have caused a scandal.

Josh Taylor's was perhaps a little close and could have been outworked, but I wouldn't call it a robbery. No worse than some of the other judging we've seen so far

 

Sorry but IMO it's , you're right about Turkey though , that was OBSCENE . Peace .

 

Well it helps when you have a crowd cheering on EVERY punch you throw even if they aren't good ones ¿ doesn't it ? . The Brazilian got blatantly robbed , the one who gave Lomachenko problems last World Championships , can't remember his name . Peace .
