btw, do jabs not count in amateur scoring or something? i mean good stiff ones that penetrate the guard and snap the opponent's head back.

Originally posted by NEETzsche View Posti did think he probably won the fight, but that doesn't justify the scores he received in his favour. i'm a brit myself and unfortunately more of our fights this olympics have left me feeling embarrassed than proud.
Granted, I thought the Ukranian did enough to beat Ogogo in his last fight, but it was close. I would hardly call it a robbery, more like a poor decision that was difficult to score.
Anyway, I'm proud of all our boxers. They're getting in the ring and putting it on the line for their nation. It's not their fault the judges have made a couple of bad decisions. Nearly every nation has been the victim or benefactor of poor judging so talk of bias is crazy. Corruption is far more prevalent in EE than the UK. I'm not worried.

But let's be honest here, those judges are clearly favoring the UK boxers.

i'm just saying i feel better as a brit when a fighter of ours loses fairly than when one wins unfairly. ogogo would have been given that decision whatever happened in the ring, that much is obvious from the scoring. hartel only landed twice in the first round, seriously?

Originally posted by NEETzsche View Postthat's true, he should have won that fight by a larger margin. maybe they were going to use him as a sacrificial lamb to counter-balance the fiddling they'll have to do to carry our two wunderkids (joshua and ogogo) to gold medals.
