    2 US Olympians Left....

    Just an AWFUL performance.

    That Heavyweight Wilder is still left, who looks pretty good but definetly not good enough for gold. Ill say bronze at best.

    And Andrade who has been very decent at best, i dont think will make it out of the next round.

    A Decent team with some hopefuls, that just performed HORRIBLY in the olympics.

    That GOD the olympics dont mean much to boxing anymore cause they are basically different sports. Most of these guys would make good professionals, and ive seen literally dozens of fighters in this competition that might not win gold, but will almost certainly make top notch pros.

      What a shame the US doesn't perform better. Boxing needs US superstars and this does not bode well for the future. No Ray Leonard and no Oscar DeLaHoya this time I guess.

      See you in London 2012.

          A lot of close fights...final margins have been only one point a couple times, and with the way the Olympics are scored, I don't really find it that disappointing.

              not sure. i would imagine in a day or two at most or something.

              Wilder could be very popular as a professional i think.

              And i've seen some unusually agressive cubans that look outstanding. Cant wait to see these guys as pros... kinda sucks that we have to wait like 3 or 4 years before they start to mean anything

                  what i don't understand is all the posing, the fainting and then the jumping in with a sloppy as flurry.and the fighters who don't just circle the fools that do that **** and lace em with a ****ing jab.there a lot of ****** ass fighters who don't think in the ring.

                    Im 18 yeard old. Ive had 19 amateur fights. Ive done very well locally but i can never afford to travel to the big tournamnets and my gym never gets any funds. It will happen though.
