Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

American's are trained in a style that suits the pro's, but isn't quite conducive to amateur boxing. The upright European style, with a strong jab, and plenty of movement is far better in the Olympics. The American's have fought pretty unintelligently in this Olympics. Plenty of talent, not enough understanding of the amateur game.

YES "UNINTELLIGENTLY" is the perfect way to describe it and extremely WILD

Teddy Atlas is right they need to REBUILD THAT PROGRAM FROM TOP TO BOTTOM and put the pride away and try to get some help from overseas

just got out of work and missed all of the fights this afternoon

did warren really lose?

what a horrid waste if he did.
you can get paid to box. why you'd labor in relative obscurity in the olympics when you're losing is beyond me.

Unfortunately he did, 18-19.

thailand took an 8 count..

this cuban is nice
what a shocker... a cuban who can box.

i thought his glove went down, but he was able to catch himself by the look of things

stay in range, keep both guards up, feet undeneath and be patient and look for openings, that is how it should be done

Well Done Robeisy!

I saw this guys opening fight, seems to have a lot of potential, I think he could go far in this competition and in the future too.

Damnit, I tuned in late. Just in time to catch the score. I definitely didn't expect that type of score, that Thai is nice. Guess the Cuban is better. Expecting big things out of the Cubans left in the competition.
