The Quest for Gold: Demetrius Andrade’s Q-F Report Card

[BIGPOPPAPUMP]

By Cliff Rold - 20-year old Welterweight Demetrius Andrade of Providence, Rhode Island came into the 2008 Beijing Games as one of America’s two best hopes for Gold, a defending 2007 World Amateur champion with the size, speed, power and experience to advance. He still has all those assets and is sure to use them to his benefit in the professional ranks. He will do it without a Medal of any kind. [details]

I watched two hours of this bull**** yesterday waiting for this fight only to see Andrade robbed.....Not to mention many fighters before him. Olympic boxing is a ****ing joke....it's pathtic and they should be ashamed. If I were a fighter I'd boycott that bull****. The scoring is simply horrible and ruins the sport.....

[Silencers]

I thought Andrade won that fight as well.

The whole thing was horrible, every fight I watched was scored very,very poorly. I mean these ****ers rarely to never count a body shot and miss head shots constantly....pathetic. I'll never watch it again all it does is piss me off.

Yeah, very poor scoring. Body shots and jabs don't get much credit forcing some of the fighters to go head hunting and even then, combinations rarely gets more than 1 point at a time.

I'm cool with the system too, if these blind ****ers would score it correctly.

There's no excuses, your fighters just ****** balls this year.
