Just watched that controversial boxing math and I'm no expert at all with boxing but that Russian swung at pure air at leat 20 times and some were embarrassing imo, so on that alone I don't get how hed win but let's play devil's advocate and say the Russian did legit win first round and the Irish lad won the second ( which he did dominate ) there's no way on gods green earth did the Russian unanimously dominate that final round. Obviously fixed.

Can't knock the kids honesty.
The Brazilian sports fans are some of the worst in the world. Booing Lavillenie as he got his silver medal, I understand cheering your countryman on but booing a great champion is a joke, especially in athletics where athletes train to be the best and put on a show for the crowd.

That Irish boxer was robbed. I no nowt about boxing but so obvious.
Felt sorry for the wonderfully named Grabarz he jumped and the white flag was raised then bar fell off.
Edit decision reversed and Grabarz jump is allowed.

That's what got me checking it out, he came across as genuine and heartfelt and I loved his brutal honesty and the fact the news channel didn't censor it.

In not the first time it's happened though, in previous games sometimes the only way to ensure victory woould have been to knock the opponent out.

How do you guys feel Team GB has done so far? I've been impressed.
