Comments Thread For: Russian Sports Minister Rips 'British Politics' For Medal Run

[Mr. Philadel]

This is boxing. The only sport I have seen in the Olympics where scores are not easy to look at.

At the end of the day, if Pac can get jobbed, anyone can.All 5 judges are there, and they have done their jobs for a while. Some fights have been suspect, not just for the Brit's.

see, this is why dude thinks he's Jesus Christ himself....this is why he says **** like God talks to him in the woods and crazy **** like that....when dudes pray they probably start it out by saying, "Oh Manny, Oh Merciful Manny, thankyou for this that and whatever"

There will always be a home team advantage in the Olympics. The Athletes will always have the crowd and adrenaline behind them. Not just in boxing, but all sports. An example is my Country winning most gold in the Vancouver Games. I guarantee you we will be lucky to finish top 5 in 2014. It has a lot to do with how comfortable you are in the surroundings.

Joshua, Ogogo, Stalker all lost fights but made the medal round because of it. So their 4 medals should be only be 1.
