Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Joshua looked far better this time around although he still has ZERO head movement.

U.S. has talented boxers, unfortunately, USA boxing is full of politics and only the brown nosers who don't know ***** about boxing get invited to work with the olympic team just because they can kiss ass really good.

This is unfortunately true. I remember being at the U.S. Nationals and a Coach won the best coaching award even though all of his fighters lost in the 1st round. It was all politics. Kinda sad really.

Hopefully this is due to inexperience rather than a trait hes going to carry through his career!

Might be pressure aswell as he looks quite stiff throwing punches where he didnt in the world championships...

Poor 17yr old kid is getting schooled badly by the Russian.

Good learning experience but damn the Russian is making the PR look as if hes in slow-mo

[dan_cov]

Landing lead right hooks from the southpaw stance for absolute jokes.

Poetry in motion watching this Russian

[NEETzsche]

selby ain't winning but at least he's going for it.

Fair score so far i think.

Selby speed is amazing but he is WILD

[BetterCallSaul]

This Cuban would make a great pro. So cool under pressure. So many of Selby's shots are hitting the gloves. No1 mistake - volume doesn't equal scoring blows.

[RichCCFC]

he shouldn't be 5 pts up
