Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

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

 

Ytalo Perea Castillo vs. Roberto Cammarelle :bbb

 

Damn, Cammarelle looks nice.

Quick right hooks while dropping his head offline, combos from medium range while bending his neck and keeping his eyes on the prize, nice snap on everything. OHHH, hurt his man two minutes in.

The gold medalist and 2-time world champion is a terrific overall package.

Castillo doesn't even necessarily look all that bad, but is completely outclassed.

 

And yet in the mysterious quagmire of amateur scoring, that was as close as a 4-2 round? atsch While round 1 of Omarov vs. Breazale was 5-0??
