Briton DeGale wins boxing medal
Collapse
-
I just watched the NBC replay of the DeGale fight - the commentator Bob Papa sounded like he was jealous of Britain's DeGale's winning a gold, since the US boxing team was so pathetic.
He should have been a good sport and given DeGale credit for defeating four very tough opponents on route to the gold.Comment

The only fight I saw of Degale's was the gold medal one.
My reaction to the fight and his victory has nothing to do with the fact that the USA ****** in the olympics.I simply agree with the crowd who was there watching it live and booed him loudly after the fight.
Yes,he won...but he benefited from the ref and the idotic scoring that is now olympic boxing.There were numerous punches thrown and landed by the Cuban which was not scored.
Degale also was given two points when he claimed he was bit...the ref didn't see it,the cameras and replays didn't see it,yet he was given points.
Also in the interview after the fight,he came off as somewhat of a punk and a *****.
I had no rooting interest in the fight...but if I had been there,I would have been booing just like the people there.Comment

Degale fought well today and in his other three Olympic fights, and so deserves full credit!

The cuban was pathetic and should of been DQ. James wanted it to be a boxing match but was being forced into a scrap. I thought the scoring was nice, if they were so biased then why did the cuban get awarded 2 points when he was the one holding 90% of the time?
the ref should be sacked.. actually no, I want him to ref my fight, easy win.Comment
