tyson and olympics

[Great]

Tyson has really lost the first fight, the second fight was close.

I've watched both fights, in the first one was closer but I still think tyson won. the second he was just robbed, Tillman basically ran and slapped the whole time getting knocked down in the process, and he even loooked suprised when they raised his hand afterwards.

yes i have seen them, both close, remember in amateur knock downs only count for 1 point the same as normal punch scoring.

yea that doesn't even make sense. a knockdown will "waste" like maybe 5-8 seconds of your valuable scoring time. a 3 hit combo wil get you 3 points in maybe 2 seconds. it really discourages power.

ive got both fights on tape. The first round of the first fight tyson put tillman down with a combo to the body, but was totally outboxed the rest of the fight, second fight was a bit closer.
Tillman jabbed and moved on his toes, tyson looked as clueless as he did against lewis, interestingly at the end of the second fight the trainers in tillmans corner can be clearly seen, one of them was Emmanuel Steward.

both fights were during the 84 olympic heavywieght box offs.
Having seen lennox lewis`s fight against tyrell biggs in the 84 olmypics at super heavywieght id have to say lewis would have done well against tyson then. Of course they did spar in 84.

Tyson's style is suitable for pro fighting. Probably he down the Tilman
in the Olympic eliminated fight. But in amateur rule that is 1point lost,
if that in pro fight 2point usually given. So I think amateur fight is only step to pro fighting to Tyson.

Neither did Page,Ramos, and Davey Moore.
