    1 medal at boxing. Which is probably our worst showing ever.

    Whatever valid points you have does not change the fact that a large portion of bouts this Olympics have been plagued with bad scoring. I've watched several fights now, and on many occasions, big shots would land and they were not noticed. This isn't right.

    So I agree, I love how everybody is saying how terrible the scoring is in the Olympics, because for once we're all in agreement.

    Yeah that American boy had atleast 5-6 good shots ignored by the judges. I was having trouble understanding what was going on with all those scoring shots not registering. I felt that the American was cheated.

    That fight was scored wrong many times Andrade connected and did not get credit for the point scored. When you have the announcers saying a punch has landed and you see with your own eyes a flush shot and no point being awarded then something is wrong with the scoring. It is abysmal and a travesty. I dont know whats going on but The USA is getting done in fights they've lost because of a faulty point system.
    Not the case in all but Im sure the case in many. Andrade deserved the win and got screwed.

    There have been a lot of problems with the training program over the past year. But saying that the US team didn't have enough talent is ridiculous. Some guys just ****ed up (Rau'shee Warren), others were unlucky (Raynell Williams and Andrade, imo). But they weren't a bad team.
