I'm most excited about Usyk from that division. Russo is an amateur to the very core. He knows the game inside out and upside down I guess he deserves alot of credit but Wilder was pretty much out of his depth experience wise. For a bit I thought Russo was just going to shell up at 1-0 and win the contest. I guess that is impressive in a way but he has to be the most boring fighter out of all the medalists. very awkward. I really disliked him.
Usyk was fast and aggressive with awesome head movement. He'll be a force in the pro's I feel.
Good stoppage as far as amateurs go, The Italian was WAY too fast for him.
Definitely a good stoppage, At amateur level they dont allow you to get caught by a big punch like that, The italian fella had too much power and he stunned Price a couple of times before the stoppage.
At least price got the bronze medal so he shouldnt be too hard on himself.
There was no surprise in this result. Cammarelle is an experienced fighter, who's won gold in several international tournaments. He lost to Alexander Povetkin in the semi-finals in the 2004 Summer Olympics, and has improved since then.
You know about the Eastern Euro's don't you?
How did Russo beat the Ukrainian Usik (sp?) I was convinced that guy was going to win the tournament. Russo is god awful he will be a horrible Ottkeish pro.
I dunno. I'd agree if it was just anther competition but it was the olympics semi finals. He should have been given a chance IMO.
Bronze is respectable, not sure what happened today he seemed off the pace?
We've seen worse stoppages in the competition but i know what you mean, I think he would have been stopped either way, The Italian was leagues above IMO ... The speed really set them apart.

Damn I really though he'd win, but he was getting caught far too easily. That stoppage was premature to say the least though. Pricey was up and responding to the ref.
