Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Yeah too many eastern Euros.

 

Brits getting so sensitive.

 

**** off you pack of ***gots and talk boxing you insecure bunch of pussys !

Who is the best so far, havent seen much tbh !

 

Well we've had the first balatant robbery.

ukkeukkeukke

Ardee vs Zhailaouv @ 60kilos.

Tied into the 3rd wih Ardee landing heavy combos to the body in the 3rd with Zhailaouv landing nothing and Zhailaouv gets it! :huh

Disgraceful. :-(

 

ont know the names, but that thai boxer clearly beat the kazakstan fighter.

8-8 going into the final round - which is in my opinion about right. Last round kaz fighter gassed and hardly did anything, the thai boxer landed two combinations to the body with atleast 6 clean punches landed between them both, won the round, yet the kazakstan fighter got the decision - last round was 4-4

I still don't understand why body punching isn't rewarded in amateur boxing.

 

:deal :good

 

Are people in the UK able to watch this? WW's are fighting right now

 

Yeah, it;s free on any BBC website for UK residence watching all the bouts. A Brit's due to come up at 4.15.

 

This thread is going places.

 

Holy **** Teddy Atlas is annoying. He just doesn't understand what's going on, he gets stuck on one irrelevant point and acts like it's the key to the fight. He doesn't understand the amateur game, it's about power punches, you don't have time to be jabbing and leaving yourself open for counters (He keeps saying how the fighters aren't jabbing when they should be). Jabs don't score in the amateur game Teddy!!

 

:huh So they changed the way amateur judges score? No more glove touching target = point scored? They've gone back to the old "effective agressiveness" scoring?

 

Freddie Evans at WW just won. Clever boxer and will be difficult to beat!

His opponent was also very game

 

Yeah that was pretty bad. I felt real sorry for Ardee

Entertaining fight though!

 

Yep, welcome to 2009. Only power punches landed cleanly score.

 

Watched the whole session but you wouldnt have enjoyed it, there were no ****** chants or zieg heils from the crowd.

Saying that the Algerian did get booed when he fought Evans, you wouldve liked that bit.
