Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

i was watching in the stands today!!!!

thought camarelle looked solid but pretty null.
the crowd all stood up and chanted for castillo when he caught him with the left hand.
us brits love cheer for the underdog.

thought the morrocan actually looked pretty good. for a tubby ****er the guy moves smoothly.

sad times for u.s. a guy on the other side of the stadium was screaming for "1-2 jab 1-2 jab...it never happend"


forgot to say that the mexican bantamweight was the most well recieved and a big cheer for that congolese fighter. he tried his best and showed some promise just out his depth.

 

luke campbell beats jahyn pitterrellloo 11-9

 

Think the italian took it.

No. Close win for Campbell.

 

Nice! Is it sold out?

 

Australian giving it all he's got.

But he didn't get it. Another close one.

 

bollocks it is. stewards in jumpers filling in the seats.

must be a hundred seats easy.


but it's a big crowd. and it's usually 1 and 2 seats dotted around. there was a big gap but looked like its was for officials or coaches or other athletes at the games.

what was more remarkable me and my dad bumped into my sister who was going to the judo.my sister also got taekwondo tickets gonna be olympiced out.

 

yeah the aussie looked good. sad he goes out but i liked his combos

 

perhaps it get's better in the later rounds. friend of mine is going over to england to watch it.

So how did it go with that british no 1 ranked taekwondo guy that didn't get picked?

 

where there any robberies or bad decisions.

there where a few that where dodgy today.

 

i havnt seen it yet. i left taekwondo when i was 18 years old i have completly forgot about it.

but i was in ITF which is kickboxing taekwondo. the olympics prefer the WTF which is long kicks and no punches to the head. but i heard of the cook guy. he was thinking of going pro or into kickboxing or mma and like boxing its simply put that if you go pro you are out of it. i think he ****ed up and now wants to sue everybody. the brit replacement is also pretty good.

 

That was a scrappy win for Campbell but I still though he did enough. He's got a good amateur style, very hard to beat.

 

I thought SHW Morocco vs Cameroon 15-6 was too high.
Didn't see Vodopyanov lose but someone said he should have won.

Can't think of any more.

 

This poor Shimizu took a beating from Dogboe now he's almost being beheaded.

 

WTF?

 

That referee sucked carrots :-(
