Official Olympic Boxing (and possibly other fighting sports) thread

Well, you didn't miss much. If you've seen Russo before you know what I mean. It was a bad fight, not quite as bad as Correa - DeGale but not far from it.

 

Are they showing the super heavies? I missed all the semis.

 

Today were the Flyweight, Featherweight, Light Welterweight, Middleweight and Heavyweight finals, tomorrow Light Flyweight, Bantamweight, Lightweight, Welterweight, Light Heavyweight and Super Heavyweight.

 

Thanks.

I'll also point out the general lack of sportsmanship in this olympics. Taekwondo guy gets banned for life?? GB boxer booed on the medal stand. Disgusting.

 

Did the crowd boo Degale?

That Tae Kwon Do guy flipping out was hilarious. :rofl :rofl

Do you know if NBC will be showing the finals on CNBC or whatever?

 

That Cuban guy should've been DQ'd for biting. WTF. I still remember the look on DeGale's face when that happend.

 

On an aside, for the American posters, the Finals will be on Regular NBC tonight rather than CNBC. It'll be on along with the Basketball final.

 

Shiming will win. There's no way that shmuck is losing in China.

 

lomanchenko, easily the best fighter in beijing. destroyed everyone he met.

cant wait for the supers, cammarelle looks really good aswell.

No, it's Vasyl Lomanchenko, 125 from Ukraine.

 

Looks like the cubans will get no golds. Only one round left in 69kg, and the Kazakhstani is 14-8 up.

 

... and there is no possible comparison between Lomachenko who destroyed his french opponent in the final and Tischenko who needed dirty tactics to "win" a judo match against another french opponent...

 

Hah. That's it for the cubans then. Final result 18:9.

 

Next up is Kenny Egan from Ireland against the chinese nobody (who strange enough made it to the finals). I really hope Egan destroys him.
