By Jake Donovan - The 2008 US Olympic boxing squad ends its run with a whimper, as 6'7" heavyweight Deontay Wilder was eliminated in his 7-1 loss to Italy's Clemente Russo in the semi-finals. Wilder leaves with Team USA's lone medal, the nation's worst Olympic boxing showing since 1948. [details]

Them boys basically flew all the way over there for nothing.

Deontay Wilder is what's right about amateur boxing. He was very inexperienced yet gave his best against seasoned (sometimes 30 year old) amateurs, who had been in the game a long time.
He's a humble southern gentleman and has a good story too.

Dan Campbell = worst trainer EVER. Makes Hatton's trainer look good.

Wilder would throw one punch, miss, then hold. It's sad if he's the best American amateur boxer - he seemed unable to even throw a two-punch combination.
