***official Olympic Boxing Thread***

[El Jesus]

Post all results, schedules, opinions, comments, robberies, victories, anything you want, news, whatever. Post it here. Coverage starts at 2am.

For all countries, not just my beloved USA, but all countries victories etc will be posted in here, this is the one event where nuthugging doesnt really matter, purses dont matter, and nobody is ducking anyone, so i hope everyone uses this thread and these events for positive discussion.

I reckon it's gonna be another Thailand-vs-Cuba showdown in the lighter weight classes.

China will have a sure gold in the light flyweight category, Zou Shiming has looked untouchable in the World Amateur Championships. He just toyed with the Philippines' best bet Harry Tanamor in the recent Olympic qualifiers in Chicago.

[RMAcero]

All I know is the Rau'shee Warren is gonna be the next big thing in the lower weight classes when he turns pro.

i hope sadam gets gold at lightweight.

shawn estrada fights at my weight class- 165. anyone seen him? he doesnt seem to be a medal hopeful, but i hope he turns it around

shawn andrade is also an olympic hopeful. go usa!

[Leo Pradun]

are they ahowing all the fights on nbc and when do they start? That **** will suck cause I dont get locals with my directv I have to switch to my regular antenna and it will hardly show, bull****t

[Kris Silver]

Yer not keen on one thread for a giant topics, makes it too broad and hard to follow.

I'm pissed 1 of the best British, and one of the best American guys haven't made weight. I just can't get my head round what went wrong. The fighters need to learn from this, along with those around them and the sport. Has harmed their entire careers all because of a couple of lb's.

whoops- i meant demetrius andrade, not shawn andrade... my b. shawn estrada looked quite nice, though i suspect he may run into some trouble down the line.... that was a great start though!
