2004 -- Athens, Greece

106: RAU'SHEE WARREN, CINCINNATI, OHIO
112: RON SILER, CINCINNATI, OHIO
132: VICENTE ESCOBEDO, WOODLAND, CALIF.
141: ROCK ALLEN, PHILADELPHIA, PA.
152: VANES MARTIROSYAN, GLENDALE, CALIF.
165: ANDRE DIRRELL, FLINT, MICH.
178: ANDRE WARD, OAKLAND, CALIF.
201: DEVIN VARGAS, TOLEDO, OHIO
+201: JASON ESTRADA, PROVIDENCE, R.I.

Andre Ward is 1 badass mofo but he barely beat my buddy Damon in the Olympic qualifying to get on the team.

The US 1984 squad was hands-down the most talented squad ever produced by the US.

As a celebration of me getting to 2K posts I'll pass a beer to the first who post the correct reason as to why Holyfield didn't get to the final.

Actually he got disqualified but he shouldn't have. The ref ****ed up.
I can't remember exactly punching after the break or something like that.
He coulda been a gold medal winner.
Damn shame.... then they got Roy at the next Olympics with that hometown decision in Seoul where he beat the breaks off of the Korean guy but lost.

He knocked the guy out, the ref counted him out, then he turned to holyfield and DQ'd him.

Meldrick Taylor was on the team to. Parnell Whitaker to i believe, so many great fighters

All of the Olympic teams have a ton of great guys and many you wonder, whatever became of him? I mean dude made the Olympics and now he's disappeared.

Ok jreckoning. The beer goes to you.

Holyfield was DQ'ed for a low blow. It's in the vid below. The vid doesn't show a lot tho. The way I remember it Holyfield has had several warnings before the DQ.

It wasn't a low blow, it was a punch on the break. I think he would've won the gold if it hadn't been for the DQ, which I thought was uncalled for.

Great video Bat. That was a shame. I can't believe they didn't review or appeal that decision. I mean even the New Zealand boxer knew he lost.

I didn't watch the vid with sound. Are you sure?

Wasn't there at least some earlier warnings for Evander or are my pugilistic dementia in full blossom????? Anybody remembers anything????
