Looks like China will get some boxing golds

With there happy trigger button pressing, you see the Joe Murray fight .....

[ИATAS]

Joe Murray fought horribly and lost the fight fair & square. Sure, he could have been credited for a couple more points but you can say that about all the fights thus far. The Chinaman fought a much better fight and Joe Murray was confused and didn't really do **** the entire fight, imo.

[Silencers]

I think there's been only 1 truly questionable decision going to a Chinese fighter so far.

Yea I noticed that too. If my boy Luis Yanez makes it to fight the favorite in the flyweight class which happens to be Chinese it might be a long night. They have to do something about the scoring system.

I didn't say Joe Murray won of course he didnt, but jesus they liked pressing the button a bit...

[black.ink]

I'm gutted for Joe. He was very poor but he looked so promising pre-Olympics.

[majestiC]

is he John Murray's brother?

Murray didn't do very well in that fight.

Billy-Joe Saunders is the only real brit hope for a medal imo.

Yeh,hes sick with his boxing skills

This years olympic boxing has been terrible IMO,the scoring system pisses me off,ive seen nearly every fight i can,and in every fight,the scoring was bizzare,most times the right people won,but the scores dont reflect the fight,AT ALL

I saw the 178lbs prelims where the Tunisian was robbed of three points in 2nd round. As it was 1-0 to ***** it would have been a whole differnet fight.

Still does not change the fact they gave 7-8 extra points to the ***** and 5-6 less to him. It owuld have been a much closer fight if they thought they had a chance going into round 3. They knew what was going on. I think the ***** would have won anyway but it seemed they would give every shot to him and many of Joe's decent punches registered NOWT. It's OK if he lost fair and square but the scoring was anything but.

The old scoring system produced the RJJ robbery, so the IOC said they woud ban boxing if the AIBA did not bring in a more 'olympic' scoring system.

He has talent but might be too green. The little ***** does have some flair.
