oooo China can smell it now!

No?

Well, if that's the case then they should give back the four or five undeserving gold medals they got in boxing at the '84 Olympics.

Roy Jones Jr. Says go **** yourself.

[BattlingNelson]

i was 5 during the '84 olympics.

Roy Jones Jr. Says go **** yourself.

One guy tells me to go **** myself, hey?

Well shoot, if that's the way it works, Kim Dong Kil is telling you to go and **** yourself (and the robbery of him against Jerry Page was why Roy got it in Seoul), as are Angelo Musone, Lofti Ayed, Francesco Damiani, Shawn O'Sullivan, Redzepovski, and a couple of others who outfought the Amercians in '84, but ended up getting the short end of the stick.

Hey, even the Aug 20th, 1984 issue of Sports Illustrated would tell you to go **** yourself, as they knew what was up in 1984 (the follwoing said after describing the Holyfield DQ);

"Still, if that decision went against the U.S., there were several others that should have but didn't."

Actually one of the American boxers would even tell you the same, as Mark Breland stated on ABC's Good Morning Amercia the Monday after the '84 Olympics that "The judges have been on the American fighters' side" (taken from an AP report dated Aug 14th, 1984 and printed in various sources).

Heck, even the president of the AIBA in 1984, an Amercian named Colonel Don Hull, knew what was up, and he stated as such;

"It's too bad the pattern indicates the U.S. is getting all the breaks. I'd like to see the breaks even out. They all seem to be going for the U.S." - Quote by Hull from various sources (originated from Peter Richmond, Herald Olympics Bureau), Aug 10th, 1984, including the Miami Herald on that date

Etc., etc., etc...Lots of sources state the Americans got "gifted" on quite a few different occasions in those Games (whether it be general comments like those above ones or specific ones talking of particular fights), and those American sources I quote there are the kindest of the bunch, as to be expected considering it was their boxers who benefitted.

But you got and know about Roy Jones, hey?

Wow, how knowledgable you certainly must be to know about that one. But you know something, and speaking only from the Amercian perspective, I wouldn't even call Roy's robbery the worst an American fighter ever got at the Olympics. Heck, I wouldn't even call it the worst robbery of an American light middleweight ever at the Olympics. Taking it one step further, I wouldn't even call it the worst robbery of an American light middleweight with the last name of Jones at the Olympics. ****, I wouldn't even call it the worst robbery of an American light middleweight with the last name Jones and the first initial being R at the Olympics...

Reggie Jones in Munich anyone? Anyone?

All the parrots say, "Who?"

[guzi815]

america doesn't need to buy medals.

He was talking about China

[Machine Gunz]

china have a population of what, 1 billion people? of course they're going to lead the olympic medal tally, australia doesnt do to bad for a population of 23 million

[Sir Tom Jones]

100 China to 109 USA is the current medal count. I wonder how many of those medals were "bought".

I also wonder how many Americans were 'smacked off their ****' to get those medals.





* 'Smacked off their ****' means on drugs by the way.

wow that's some first class research, sir.

Using that logic, India should be second in the medal tally.
Australia does good for sure, and so do smaller countries like South Korea as well.
This was China's showcase for the world. They amped up their training crazily the last 8 years and got some great results out of it.

At least their last names are simple to pronounce. Imagine the poor announcers thinking oh-no, another Thai or Indian name that I will massacre saying it wrong to the whole world.

Great post as usual Yogi. I remember you mentioning the Tyrell Biggs loss to Francesco Damiani of Italy in those Olympics(1984) in LA.
The weird thing about that is, they actually fought a rematch in the pros in Italy.
Biggs lost on cuts I believe.
I was thinking about that and was wondering why on earth Biggs went there to fight him.
Was the clamor from that robbery that great or was Biggs trying to prove he didn't get a gift?
