Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

I saw Breazale landing cleaner with the 1-2 and Omarov doing a lot of heavy but sloppy swinging inside, thudding his wrists and forearms against Breazale's head in the clinches but not so much the legal scoring area of his knuckles. Omarov did much better when using his strength to push Breazale back and land a straight punch through the guard. When he gets hook happy his work is ridiculously messy.

He did have Breazale on ***** St. in the third.

 

The Cameroonian is bringing the nasty to the tubby Morroccan.

I'm loving the body shots. If only he had a better plan for cutting the ring off.

 

Arjaoui has decent footwork for a porker, I'll give him that. And his gas tank has held up so far using constant lateral movement.

Mondouo needs to figure out how to get in range without getting grabbed or pushed down.

 

Only one seems to be treating this as a grudge match.

 

Arjaoui seems really confident in his work in the 3rd. :think Enough to offset having run around getting blasted in the gut for the first two?

 

15-6 to Arjaoui.

I guess body shots mean nothing in the Olympics. :conf

 

Ecuador vs. Italy up next.

 

We're in agreement this time, that was quite far off.

Hopefully they meet again in a few years without any padding, so Mondouo can knock his block off. :yep
