Olympic Boxing Discussion Thread

Selby and Evans fighting for GB tomorrow. Hopefully they can get the win and join Ogogo, Joshua and Campbell in the Semi-Finals.

5 years....

Same length of time Medzhidov has been boxing..........

I also remember Dychko getting just as shook up by Majidov as Joshua did as well. Dychko has great technique though.

Dychko was stunned once maybe twice. Joshua was stunned or went wobbly legged 10 different times. Watch and count. Not very important though since both have enough power to hurt the other.

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.

Fred Evans/GB VS Canada/Custio Clayton
Robeisy Carrazana Ramirez /Cuba VS. Andrew Selby/GB

Who do you guys have winning these tommorow? Will GB keep rolling on?

Of the fighters mentioned, the only one I've seen during these games is Robeisy Ramirez. The kid is only eighteen years-old, but he looks pretty damn good. I'm admittedly concerned that the British fighter might get the ol' hometown decision. I just hope the judging is fair. It would be a shame to rob a boxer of Robeisy's talent.

Thanks man. Ramirez is going up against Andrew Selby he is most peoples favorite to win gold. GB has gotten some questionable decisions already, but the scoring is crazy anyway, I think they still have 6 out of 7 guys remaining.

The scoring has indeed been crazy all around. And there's always been a home-city bias in the Olympics. If Selby was the favorite coming in, then Ramirez had really better bring it. Robeisy has been sailing through the competition so far. He seems like a good-natured kid, always smiling and such. I guess that's easy to do when you're as talented as he is. I hope he continues his winning ways. May the best man win.

Whyte never sparked Joshua, he dropped him then won on points. Joshua being the only person to go the distance with Whyte in the amateurs anyway.

Joshua also gave Majidov a far better fight then Dychko did.
