Olympic boxing on

[Azazel]

The Azeri really dominated until there were 78 seconds left when he fell apart. I didn't really see the punch that hurt him, but he was obviously hurt.

If there had been an 8 count or two, that would have just wasted time for the Jap to score.

While I think the fight should have been stopped because of the Azeri basically quitting, the Azeri probably did land more punches in the last round. This is just a quirk of am boxing that everyone knows about, but no one likes to see.

Even thought he should have lost by ko ( and finally lost the match due to teh appeal ), the Azeri kid showed some neat skills, he's definitively one to keep an eye on if he turns pro and can fix his stamina issue. Reminded me a bit of Cotto when he's on his hit and move shtick

The Japper landed precious few, MWS, I think a 2 point round was about correct, but the Japper should have won on a TKO, the Azaeri must have gotten the weight completely wrong.

The Jap clearly landed more. He was down in the first part of the round, then he started piling it on and landed a lot of clean shots.

Here's to Shimizu San

If the Jap had landed clean shots, the Azeri would have been stopped. It looked more to me like the Azeri ran out of gas than he was actually getting hurt. I don't even remember one of the knockdowns to be from a clean punch. I'm glad they overturned it, but it's really far far far from the worst ref job I've seen.

There are a couple guys I've liked so far:

The light welter who whupped the american: Daniyar Yeleussinov
The tall superheavy: Ivan Dychko

Some of the americans have potential, but none looked overly good.

Ivan Drago looked OK against an underpowered German. Best KO of the tournament so far belongs to the big indolent fellow from China. Best last round of the tournament so far is split between the America Brown and the Australian Hooper, on one hand, and the Japper vs Flopper on the other.

[Hitman]

I like American Lightweight Jose Ramirez

Light Heavyweights Osman Bravo of Nicaragua (great body puncher) and teh Ukranian Oleksander Gvozdyk (he's real good it seems to me)

Still Like Terrell Gausha of USA a bit. Lomachenko, of course....

and I haven't been able so see any of the British guys yet, are they much cop?

That was an absolutely shocking "decision" for Ogogo today, he was being pummelled in the last round, pillar to post

Aye; blatant home town robbery. He got punched all over the ring in the last round and only lost it by two points.

Who did Gogo fight? Americans dont seem to have it these days, not impressed by any of the young Americans, am or pro, including Boner.

Honestly I think it'll be a while until there is an American as good as Ward, let alone Floyd.

[salaco]

I thought Anthiny Joshua was pretty luck last night too, although it wasn't as bad as today's decision

[mexican wedding shirt]

I think the Cuban won pretty clearly, havent seen the gogo fight.

Another Cuban. Got his head smashed off all the third round and won on a 'button press' after points and count-back were level.

Its already happened with Anthony Joshua. Its pathetic but the reward will come later down the line when these "Olympic Gold Medalists" are getting Khaned in the pro ranks.
