Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

[engleby]

Damn you guys had that last round close, I need to rewatch it. Thought the American controled that round big.

Nope. We're not part of the club and the only thing they were watching was the exit to make sure Gausha left. That was just atrocious. Sad thing is most Americans quit watching Am Boxing because of stuff like this so no one will fight for this kid.

trouble is these judges judge on past achievments and not whats actually going on in the actual fight there watching. its total bs and starting to put me right off watching its happening to often

That was a close fight pro or am scoring. Gausha seemed to hit harder but Vijinder landed about an equal amount of power shots when they exchanged and the majority of the fight consisted of boxing at range where Vijender got the better of it throughout. That was not a robbery.

They have had a hard on for our guys for a long time. Mayweather and Jones got robbed so ****** it's not funny; Andrade got run in the last Games. We don't play into the international scene enough and when it's close, buddies get calls.

I don't like Joshua and 100% feel he got a gift decision. Now that was a robbery!
Felt Agogo was awarded a gift as well.

Not impressed with the U.K team thus far tbh

Vajinder v Gausha was a close fight, certainly wasn't a robbery.

If by close you mean the judges got close to Gausha when they screwed him by calling the 3rd even and not giving him the fight, sure.

That was an epic bad d.

Ryota Murata could be a great pro, he might get the Gold now that Khrytov is out, lets remember that he did pretty good at the World Championships at Baku getting a Silver Medal

I once heard that Vijender has a life size Chuck Norris in his house. It's not a statue, he's just too afraid to move.

that indian dude ****** lol

Vajinder controlled Gausha for most of the 3rd at range. He showed excellent ring generalship, it would of gone to a countback had Gausha not dropped his hands and ate a flush left in the dying seconds.

Close fight, I will watch it again & wouldn't be surprised if I had Gausha winning, it was close but for me Vajinder edged it right at the end.

If by generalship, you mean running between eating hard shots, sure. The 3rd wasn't close. Singh tightened it late, but even then Gausha landed some good stuff. Those scores blew.

Well that indian dude has already an Olympic Bronze medal from Beijing, and he's on his way to become the first Indian to medal in 2 different Olympics.

Did I mention he's also a Bollywood Star?... mm
