Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Think of it as 1 x 9 minute round with breaks. You do not win rounds.

 

At the last worlds watch the 64 final between dos santos and berinchyk. I swear to god the brazilian went down at least a dozen times, probably more than 15. same with conceicao against lomachenko but not as many, they all do that like it's some sort of strategy.

 

chinese with the money may lead left hook

 

Ok yeah I get what you mean now you phrased it like that, what I meant was that i felt the Indian outscored the Brazilian in every round (thus throughout the fight.

 

They're getting ready to deploy their BJJ :deal Or maybe just a BJ.

 

Chinese lad is a contender for the Gold imo, with good judging he would smash the Brazilian

 

Znaak - you ever fought Oleksandr Gvozdyk?

lol ya they probably have streetwalkers on the coaching staff to teach them

there are some good lhw's yet to fight today and the top 6 guys all have byes in the first round. he looks quality though and is listed at 6'3

 

Heard a bit about this American, sounds a good lad.

 

Good opening round, scored correctly also.

 

Hooper looks like ****. He's hardly throwing, constantly reaching with his right hand and squaring himself up.

 

Hooper takes it 13 - 11

 

What a fight. Browne apparently admired RJJ, but Hooper box's more like him! Hooper looked poor at a slow tempo like said above but when he went all out he would be a handful for anyone.

 

lol holy ****! Hooper got to Browne in the 3rd and finally landed some of those lead rights he kept throwing hurting browne and giving him a standing 8. Hooper took the 3rd round big, not sure if he made up the difference....13-11 Hooper. Wow teriffic come back in the 3rd. When Hooper lets his hands go and throws combinations he's a different fighter.

Anyone know what the score was after the 2nd round?

 

browne didnt want it.

 

I think he did, he just wasn't ready for what Hooper brought to the table. Before the fight Browne and his team were talking about how Hooper is a pitty pat puncher, I think he got shook up when he realised he had an animal in there with him.
