Comments Thread For: Tony Yoka Shocks Joe Joyce To Win Gold Medal in Rio

[Loque-san]

Joe Joyce was flat out robbed. The fight wasn't close at all.

Yoka already had the gold medal around his neck before the Olympics started.

They robbed Nistor to clear his path

He's my favourite to win the coveted Olympic Boxing's Biggest Fraud Award. It's a toss up between him and Tischenko.

Filip Hrgović was ROBBED against Yoka in the semi-final.

Now Yoka wins a gift decision over Joyce.

Make no mistake about it, the judges are definitely on Yoka's side.

Joyce bossed him over three rounds. Not remotely close.

Boxing has no business in the Olympics.

Absolute robbery. Covered up for three rounds and got the decision.

The better boxer won obviously.

Throwing punches doesn't make you win fights, landing does, and Joe landed punches to the body but almost nothing to the head.

Yoka made Joe look like a slow bum at times.

So body punches don't count?

Yoka is the better boxer - faster, more technical and more well rounded. But that doesn't mean that he won the fight. He was outworked and even though Joyce's work was sloppy and ineffective, Yoka did no work. Sloppy work is always better than no work.

Joyce didn't land ****, landing on gloves doesn't count in boxing.

Yoka covered well and countering him.

Denying Yoka landed more clean punches is being ******.

Fair and clear decision, the thing is most people like you obviously DKSAB

Boxing has to be in the olympics, at least, fighters can't duck each others.

Yoka is the only man who landed clear punches IMO.

Agreed Joyce was more active, but Yoka still was more effective, most of his punches landed clean.

Joyce only slapped Yoka's belly.

You already acknowledged that Joyce landed body punches, so your argument is null and void. You simply dismissed them as not having any importance.

A blatantly rigged and corrupt sport in which athletes can be rewarded for being bested has no business in the Olympics.

When they are uneffective, they don't.

He slapped Yoka's body, but rarely landed solid punches.


Yoka covered up like a Winky and countered at will.

Joyce doesn't have defense.
