Olympic boxing sucks!

TobiG13y ago

Olympic boxing is bullcrap! The scoring system is bullcrap and it seems the judges cant score a fight anyway. The Refs are also useless! In some cases they disqualify a fighter in the first round for holding and in another case they let some stupid Italian hold as much as he wants without even taking a point away.. And the english fighters always get gift decissions. I will not cintinue to watch the Olympic tournament because its just pissing me off.

I agree. The judging sucks and the scoring is the worst. Here are some tweets collected talking about Olympic Boxing and most of them are dogging it. http://www.thetruechamp.com/2012/08/fans-sound-off-on-olympic-boxing/

Its horrid.

13y ago

I don't like the scoring system, tried to explain why but it ended up as nonsense. However I do like the basic idea of a knockout tournament in boxing.

13y ago

Refuse to watch dating back to 88 and Roy's disgraceful result.

13y ago

I agree amatuer boxing is awful, corrupt, technically flawed and just plain ugly to watch.

13y ago

Katie Taylor vs Natasha Jonas was comfortably the best fight I've seen at this games. If you want to watch the absolute definition of why amateur boxing is useless have a look at the Italian Heavyweight Russo. I don't know exactly to call what he does but it's certainly not boxing. It's infuriated me at two consecutive games now.

13y ago

Its basically fencing only boring. The scoring is wacked, the refs are all over the place. I hated during the Beijing games too, but I'd been watching alot more amatuer fights lately, some old, some new and figured 4 years would be enough for me to get excited about it again.... Nope... Watched the first rounds of a couple different weight classes, couldn't stay awake. Theres some good talent out there, and its the freakin' olympics lets take the gear off and scrap for a few rounds. I don't even really mind the headgear, the scoring system is what ruins it for me. Just can't win with boxing, leave it to judges to score, they'll screw it up. Put it on a point system, and all of a sudden its a whole new boring sport.

13y ago

It has been garbage for the better part of 20 years. I still end up watching a ton of it though :lol1:

13y ago

whatever. my girl lost and i am crushed....i want to cry. did anybody happen to watch Canada v China? what the hell happened in the second round?

13y ago

It's been crap for awhile now

It's a sport unto itself.

I agree. They don't count body punches and a fighter doesn't get any points for a count. :no:
