Official Olympic Boxing (and possibly other fighting sports) thread

Cammarelle has to knock that Oaf out. I would love to see it.

 

At this point, I'm not so sure it's the scoring system as out right corruption. There is no way you could get 5 objective judges to score several of these matches the way they have. Honestly, it would be preferable if the made it like fencing, with computer chips in gloves and headgear that would light up when a fighter "scores" a point. At least then the "wrong" fighter might have a chance of winning a decision.

 

I'm afraid it's his only chance to win.

 

I see. Good luck with the tournaments.
Right now I have 44 fights. Next fight up is in the end of next month in Austria. Nations Cup.

 

Every ****ing thing it sounds like they're doing tonight is just proving the accusations of corruption that have been leveled against AIBA for these games.

 

Znaak, **** you. Why didn't you post that great link 2 weeks ago? Jeez!

 

Hmm... That would at least make it right and fair. But I don't think that will ever happen. Too big operation to make all these new helmets and gloves.

 

Awesome dude. Are you a Viking originally? For some reason I had the image that you were from the old CCCP. Good luck in your tournament man. How many nations are there?

 

To be honest, I thought everybody else used the same page. :!:

 

6-1 to Cammarele, thank god.
Looks like a domination is due, the Chinese dude has no defense.

The italian corner is hilarious.

 

Oh dear. Are we actually going to see an RSCO?

 

Haha. Yep! Hmm.... ok. Thank you very much. In 75kg there's 8 nations, and in 81kg there's 4 nations. Either 75 or 81 for me. Think it'll be 81.

 

I'm not really serious, I'm just disgusted because of what's happened in Beijing. Although fans seem to cry robbery at every close decision that doesn't go their way in pro boxing, you can literally see fighters get robbed here when head snapping combos don't register and a grazing jab counts for two points.

 

Sweet. I'm 75kg myself, don't want to drop to 69kg. Which countries participate?

 

The tempo slowed down a bit in the end of the second round, so probably not. 10-3.
