    Olympics boxing was fixed claims romanian judge.

    On BBC right now. He said that boxers were given judges they wanted for certain countries and referees that they wanted. AIBA has confirmed this too. Money has been rumoured to change hands as well.

        Seems like ESPN would be on this if it were true.

                I think it's possible, if anyone else saw the cuban middleweight take on the guy from uzbekistan it wouldn't seem too farfetched.

                  There was a fight in the morning today featuring a Thai (I think) who was getting an insane amount of points off of body shots. Teddy and Bob were kind of dumbfounded at the ease he was being awarded points and the crowd was even booing the result. It was disgusting.
