Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

[onechance87]

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

does he plan on going pro?

does he plan on going pro?

Probably not. A lot of the Am world doesn't. Why would he? Guys like Gausha would destroy him in the pros. Better off running and getting hollow wins for getting hit more than his opponent in the short sets.

I really don't know, supposedly this are his last Olympics, but if he wins Gold, I see him going to the Olympics of Rio, Indians dont have many medals in Olympics, so I could see him staying amateur if he wins Gold or Silver.

But if he goes Pro, he will be bigger than Khan, can you imagine the whole country of Indian Backing an Indian Middleweight?

Haha really?

Just like Calzaghe had an amateur herky jerky style, just throwing slaps, and he beat Hopkins, Roy Jones, Kessler, Bika, etc.

The Lightweight Final will be...

Lomachenko vs Valentino

I really like Valentino, this are my 2 favorite Lightweights, it will be good

Eat me troll. Singh didn't win and there's nothing wrong with being pissed at a bad call. More pissed at Shimizu but at least that got justice (and was WAY worse).

Anybody watching the romaninan getting robbed against the UZB fighter?

Wow!!

[Russian Crushin]

This is why I just don't give a f*** about Olympic boxing. People think professional boxing is corrupt, watch just one Olympics.
