Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

[The Gambler1981]

Do u think he fights like mike tyson?

Yes I did think that when I first saw him bobbing and weaving.

The reason why they switched to their atrocious scoring system in the first place was because the professional scoring system they originally used proved corrupt. You have astonishingly bad scores in the pros nowadays; the Olympics have not been immune. The last straw was Roy Jones Jr.'s mind-boggling robbery at the 1988 Seoul games, when he lost to the hometown fighter. The judges were suspended in the aftermath of that travesty.

The "tiny rule" you cite is indeed silly. Any more examples?

I get that the pro system can be corrupt but this system is tremendously worse. A knockdown counts as much as a Pitty pat punch. It makes no sense

And countless more but I'm on my phone and can't list all of them

I love how this Algerian guy has a running start when he throws his straight left. He's leading with his head too much, I'm surprised there have been too many headbutts yet.

I agree, the current system is ridiculous. That said, it's debatable which way is worse. That's sad to say. And since the Olympics is held only once every four years, change is painfully slow to come. I might be a very old man indeed by the time they come up with a decent system, if ever.
