Olympic boxing - worse than ever

I'm a fan of Rigondeaux but he is not even close to flawless. He has a low percentage style and only the one style. Lomachenko is far more versatile with far better defence. Rigondeaux has fought poor opposition as a pro, as an amateur he still got tagged plenty, I can count on one hand the amount of times I've seen Lomachenko tagged cleanly.
Have a look at both Lomachenko's and Rigondeaux's olympic fights against Sultonov to get an indication of how they compare.
Keep in mind that Sultonov was greener against the already gold medallist Rigondeaux at Athens, Lomachenko fought a bigger, stronger, more experienced Sultonov at Beijing and beat him 13-1 with a great knockdown in the final round.
I have no doubt in my mind that Lomachenko is a better amateur than Rigondeaux was and will be a better pro.

 

Just like Solis is better than Wlad, right ******? :roll:

 

Bull****. Olympic boxing is better than ever

 

Team GB and Cuba will pick up more medals then USofA. :good

 

:deal
This has been hands down the best Olympic boxing event since the '84 Olympics.

Anyone who watched last nights session will agree the fights were all class & we haven't even seen the world number 1's yet

 

It's definitely the best Olympics since they brought in headgear. Plus, CLEVELAND!!!!

 

84 olympics was the worst for a long time. How can you think an olympic boxing event without cuba, ussr or any eastern bloc countries was good!?
