Before you lot start, that was NO robbery

[New England]

Are any of those Brits capable of winning a future world championship? Clarissa Shields could probably beat the best the Brits have to offer right now.

shields was the most dominant boxer that i saw in the tournament


speed and power.

Go get him Luis de Cubas or Ahmet Ohner!

And you have a pretty good chance to do so, because he will be very dissapointed with the amateur judging, after working hard for 4 years, and being robbed like that.

Remember it's the Olympics: The host country is always going to get gift medals thrown their way. It never fails and it's one of the reasons I have a hard time taking the Olympics too seriously. It is what it is.

So now every atlet that ever won OL gold for the host country automatically got a gift decision?

Did I say EVERY medal? No I did not. If you'd bother to go back and look at the medal counts from every Olympic dating back to the 60s you'll see the host country getting a "bump" in medals awarded over and above the the number of medals they typically win. This isn't new. Anybody who's watched a number of Olympics knows this.

Try doing a little research instead of coming off like a butthurt emo "homer"

even though cammarelle looked like he chugged a 40 of crown royal before the fight, he still won

No, but when there's so many robberies in every round, you can't blame the guy for not taking at face value that the best man wins.

The host country is usually a good bet. Of course not every guy was underserving, Campbell's was well earned.The other 3 host medalists needed varying degrees of "luck" to get there.

Cammarelle won that fight definitely, but we knew this was coming. They want Joshua to be their next big star so he was getting the decision regardless. So I guess it is just a coincidence that Britain won the most gold medals and the most medals overall in boxing this Olympics? Just a bizarre occurrence that the games were in London and they had all this success? HAHA ok. You Brits did well but I am sorry, you guys got some decisions that were bs. Joshua should not have even been in that final and Cammarelle won, period. Olympic boxing needs to be completely re-evaluated because this is getting out of hand. How many robberies do we see every 4 years. I knew the minute this started that Joshua was going to get the gold medal at SHW. Very sad.

That Thai boxer got a raw deal too, he beat the Chinese fighter and was robbed as well.

brits going all out to cheat in these olympics. they cheated for that british speed cyclist & that british diver.

they were in such a rush & mood to start cheating that they started early with murray at wimbeldon when they were calling all those foot faults.
