Team GB boxing....Tom Stalker. Was that the correct decision by judges?

The commentary was pretty funny...they were waiting for Stalker to half land anything so they could talk about it but ignoring all the shots the Mongolian was landing in between.

Even in the slow mo replay they were saying beautiful work from Stalker here before they had even watched it...only for it to show the Mongolian actually landing the clean shots and Stalker's sailing over the top.

I thought Uranchimegiin edged it..he should have been up after the 1st...the 2nd was pretty even despite what the commentators claimed..and the 3rd, maybe Stalker outworked him but certainly did not run away with actual punches scored.

 

He should have gone out to the Indian earlier. He got punished in rd 2, won it 9-5.

 

Pretty much how I saw it.

It was a close fight, but one guy landed more clean shots and that man was Uranchimeg.

The propaganda as you say was rather lame. It's amazing what constitutes 'good work' when the man you're talking about is from the same country as you...apparently slapping elbows with the inside of your gloves.

 

If you're in Sydney, what commentary are you listening to?

 

They might be getting the British feed. I remember we got the Aussie one in the Delhi commonwealth games. Barry Michael was commentating and doing a pretty good job of it too.

 

Richie Woodhall is the co-commentator..so I guess thats the BBC feed?

 

Yep.

 

The commentators thought he lost the first round.

 

I actually thought Stalker won, but the result is fair enough, had it been pro scoring method I would have given it to the Mongolian
It's very strict about what constitutes a landed punch, the mongolian looked in control and dictating the pace of the fight, but a lot of his attacks weren't landing cleanly enough, and stalker would then counter and land cleanly.
However, I wasn't counting the punches as they landed so it is hard to say who should have won.

 

The Mongolian was very busy but he was wild and inaccurate. A lot of his stuff was on the gloves.

I personally thought stalker won. Especially the final round he should have won that by at least one pt resulting in a draw.

Not a robbery. Imo it was closer than clayton-evans. Thought stalker won but could have gone either way
