Official 2012 Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Don't understand it.. And after reading this thread I'm still confused because of the number of different answers. Looking forward to the changes they make. For now I just watch and say to myself who I think was better, not taking Olympic scoring into consideration... :yep

 

I don't understand the system clearly enough to score for myself. I believe that a clean blow landed gets the same credit no matter how hard it lands. To me, it seems to favor a more slap boxing style, so it doesn't really appeal to me.

 

I love listening to Teddy Atlas and that idiot he's partnered with bob papas complain about every fight. Good for a laugh.

 

Ukraine's appeal was just rejected. Farcical.

 

this is amazing incompetence by someone.

 

:happy Easily one of the best boxers I have ever seen

 

Isthis live right now... on NBC website I'm watching Lomachenko....

 

No that was a few hours ago, the next session starts in about and hour and a half

 

Another robbery at the Olympic Games in London - British boxer Anthony Ogogo survived 2 knockdowns and a beating from amateur world champion Evgeniy Khytrov only to get a "W" from the corrupt judges.

If it was professional fight, Khytrov would've won 30-25 (10-7 in the second round, 2 KD's). Duane Ford must be proud of these judges. :-(

Znaak or someone could post that tale of the tape/chart for the weight class Lomachenko is fighting?

 

I agree
