Billy Joe Saunders lost today, I didn't see the fight but he said to the bbc:

"The points didn't go for me today," he said. "In the last round I knew I wouldn't get the decision unless I knocked him out. The scoring here is so bad for an Olympic Games. It's unbelievable.

"I felt my performance was exceptional, but I've had better days. I felt I should have had six or seven points for my body shots, but they're not scoring body shots. You might as well do fencing, not boxing, if they're going to do that."

There was a Puerto Rican vs Morrocan the body shot took into the account

I'm gonna have to agree. The scoring is just getting progressively worse as the competition moves along. Scores are way too low...

such **** scoring

im a bit disillusioned with the whole am system at the moment, paticuarly as an aspiring am fighter myself

its got me thinking, if these guys who have trained their whole lives are getting screwed over robbed etc,...if these super talented elite guys cant clearly win fights with this system then how the **** will i?

[PunchDrunk]

Yeah, this is really dampening my enthusiasm... I have a kid going to the European championships in November. I have next to zero motivation for the work ahead, because I know it's not up to what we do in training, and how he performs in the ring anymore. It's a ****ing lottery (a rigged one where the home fighter is all but guaranteed a win)

Only reason any person should go amateur now is either a hobby or if you wanna get noticed to kickstart your pro career, but pro boxing is just as corrupt as amateur I guess. Gutted for billy joe saunders, after frankie gavin he was our best hope. Still think the heavy weight can win a gold, but only because hes like 7ft tall and hits like a truck.
