Olympic scoring????

btw that american 'Andrade' or whatever his name. that fought the georgian guy the other day got beat by that georgian...that was bull****.

 

This system sucks, doesn't matter how competent officials are. It defeats the purpose of having multiple judges with different views.

 

Thanks for the correction . . . I noticed one table far behind . . . I thought that for one of the judges.

 

I know . . . but not unless some powerful countries with big voices in the Olympic comittee moved for it's improvement . . . then we all have to live by it. :-(

 

they dont count body shots!!!???? why?

 

Harry Tanamor of the Philippines just lost to a Ghanaian. :twisted:

Theyre not scoring body shots!!!

 

It's because they're hard to see. Sergei Vodopyanov was scoring with straight lefts to the body.

 

Well, boxing's all over for us now this Olympics.

Losing, I wouldnt have minded too much, but it was frustrating to see that when our guy wanted to rally back, try to be more aggressive and pound the other guy with 2-3 combos to the body, but still, no score.

Made my blood pressure rise earlier. Damn.

 

doesnt help rau'shee warrens failure. is there any hope of an American boxer winning gold?

 

you have to agree that plange won most of the points faily and also had a body attack going on.

but still it was closer and far more pointscoring fight than it seemed.

 

Yeah.

Still sucks.

 

Demetrius Andrade, Raynell Williams; and with the draw he has Deontay Wilder could maybe win a Silver at least.

 

I've never agreed with or understood the criteria for scoring blows in olympic boxing. Body shots never count which is incredibly rediculous when a large portion of the professional fighters base their offense around body shots.
Sometimes I really wonder who should be in control of the olympic boxing, period. I often shake my head as to how these judges come up with scoring blows and what in particular they are watching during the fights.

 

why no faith in the mexicans :|
