    Compared to the last Olympics the boxing is absolutely crap, Wheres all the talent gone, I have watched mostly all matches and not one of the boxers stood out and made me say wow, like Amir Khan

    Have you watched Matvey Korobov yet? If not I suggest you do, there may be some footage on youtube. I believe he is fighting against 2004 Gold Medalist Bakhtiyar Artayav soon aswell.

    Brazilian middleweight boxer, Blanco, was very impressive. Also his fight demonstrated how shitty Olympic officiating is once again. Blanco was about to knockout his opponent, and the referee hesitated in giving the 8 count. His opponent knocks him down and hurts him as Blanco yields for the ref. Gets an 8 count himself. Ridiculous. At least he showed a chin.

    And holllly ****, finally, an exciting, tight, olympic fight. Middleweights, Ireland vs. Algeria

    Knockout by the Irishman, Sutherland. Great job.

    Hey man can you give me a rundown on what happened in Artayev vs Korobov? They don't show Olympic boxing in Australia.

    I wasn't really directing it at you, but all the scoring ones etc, that only starting springing up after American, and GB losses.

    Sutherland is always exciting, him versus Darren O'Neil(an fighter who's probably top 15-20 in the World at the weight) for the Irish title was the best amateur bout I've ever seen.

    He's turning pro after these games and tbh he'll be much better suited to it.

    The heavy weight from the Ukraine was pretty impressive to me.
    nice combos and fast.

    GREAT GREAT FIGHT ! Finally they give away a lots of points !

    But still bad judging..., I mean, the dude clearly dominate at some point and he was like only 1 or 2 point ahead most of the fight !

    Sutherland's problem in the amateur game is that he has an essentially pro style. Amongst other things this means that sometimes he doesn't get the points even though, if the fight was being scored in the way that pros are he would easily win the round.

    His next fight is against Blanco, so that should be a real tear up. Two guys with very aggressive styles and real power.
