Olympic Boxing - Rio 2016

[WarMaidana]

cubans haven't been doing well. I was really disappointed that argilagos didnt box well vs martinez

[NEETzsche]

Another spoiling fighter from Uzbekistan, that's a clone of Gyiasov, rushes in and grabs.

yeah the uzbek style is definitely not pretty apart from a couple of exceptions

i've grown to dislike them a bit during these games

[pesticid]

A lot of these guys immediately resorting to holding is the only thing I've been consistently frustrated about in this Olympics. Too many head clashes and cuts caused because of all this nonsense.

They've been rewarded with victories though which makes you wonder, is this pure boxing anymore. Ref deducting point from Uzbekistani fighter he might as well kiss his career good bye

What I have noticed is that the judges have been giving sloppy fighters the benefit of the doubt. Gyasov and Conceicao are the sloppiest elite fighters in the tournament. I don't think Robson did anything on the inside, he pretty much held everytime Lazaro was close. He just gives a mean stare a la Cotto. I gave him round 2. He had a better moment in the last 30 seconds of the 3rd round but what happened in the first 2 and a half minutes. Then Lazaro punches him with the cleanest combo and Conceicao falls back to the ropes and the ref breaks the action killing Lazaro's momentum to tell Conceicao not to turn back when he never turned his back. Savon lost rounds 2 and 3. Lazaro lost round 2 and while we're at it Argilagos lost rounds 2 and 3. Conceicao has been getting crazy decisions. Lomachenko knocked him down like 4 times, they didn't rule any of them as knockdowns and then it was a draw, eventually they overturned it thank god. Conceicao is very good don't get me wrong and he's beat Lazaro clear in the Pan Am games but he only won round 2 here.

yeah I notice as well that is why I'm saying you just have to work hard for 3 Rounds and let your hands go for this Olympics because they're reward the aggressors even if they're not getting in any clean work

Conceicao win 3-0 shows corruption to me though! It is like they already had him the winner before the match started so Alvarez likely never had a chance!

Lets Go Russell!

No he never did and Conceicao is a top 3 fighter at the division so you have to completely outclass him and it's still not a sure thing but how do you outclass completely somebody that good?

[JAMES_THUNDER]

Does anyone know when shakur fighting?

[Loque-san]

I have just watched Conceicao-Alvarez. Alvarez clearly won Rd.1, Conceicao clearly won won Rd. 2. The last round was closer but Alvarez did the better work, especially in the first two minutes.

Alvarez is the better fighter, but we knew Conceicao, the best gold medal chance for Brazil, would get the nod if the fight was competitive.

[HI-TECH Boxing]

Russell started off good, but then he got outboxed.

[pesticid]

The Canadian commentators are the worst, they actually thought the 1st round was even. And one of them says feint instead of find when he talks about finding the distance don't know if he is Scottish or what
