I've given up on Olympic boxing. Those judges who screwed that kid over should be banned. But they still wouldn't reverse the decision anyway!

In the next fight a American fighter got robbed too. The judging at this is the worst there ever has been at a games. They should keep it to points for punches have 5 judges 3 hit a button you score back then it wasnt as bad as it is now.I've given up on Olympic boxing.

Some crap reffing aswell as judging. Anyone see the third round of the Buatsi fight last night? Lost track of how many times the ref gave the other lad a warning for holding, literally had no intention of boxing, yet never deducted a point.
And in theJoyce fight after, clear as day knockdown not given

The old system made it more exciting and you could see which shots the judges we're scoring. I'd also bring head guards back at this level, 'try' and reduce the risk of head clashes. It's a long road for all boxers who may not get another shot at a medal. Obviously boxers can get bust up regardless, but harm reduction is good and maybe prolong decent fights that may otherwise been stopped. Just my opinion of course.
Errol Spence fights Leonard Bundu live on boxnation at the weekend. Really impressed with Spence so far, he looks the part.

Loads of bits and pieces about the ams the guy that beat Conlan is not fighting his semi final now which is a given he got beaten up in his last 2 fights. The rules should be looked at. The scoring is bent. There was a Irish judge on the radio yesterday who was offered a bribe in offered fancy watches and stuff to push buttons when it was computerised to go for a certain fighter. He want to the amatur boxing officals about these claims and he has since been barred from judging any fights since. They also claimed he was destrutive while judging when 1 judge gave a fight to 1 fighter who was totally dominated by the other. Its bent to fuck. I am glad in a way its been brought up and highlighted in the hope that it turns things around and that the scoring will revert back to points per shot.
Also hear the the Russians since the change in the score system are getting there fighters to spoil more and more and walk forward as they are being scored more than cleaner shots if they get in close and throw some punches its the way they are going. Also some judges got banned from the Olympics. As for Mick Conlan and Paddy Barnes expect them to be signed up by Matchroom. There back in Belfast soon with Ryan Burnett they can build up the fighters and get a huge crowds in with the Belfast guys in Barnes , Conlan and even big Tommy McCarthy too to be on Burnetts under cards then the others will hopefully sell out big shows themself. Irish boxing is about to go boom in the pro ranks.

Saturday night.. (Sky Box Office)
GGG v Kell Brook
John Riel Casimero v Charlie Edwards
Lee Haskins v Stuart Hall
Martin J Ward v Andy Townsend
Craig Richards v Dalton Miller
Connor Benn also on the bill.
Kell looks in good shape, be interesting to see his game plan for this. Can't see any problems for GGG great shot variety and digs hard. You can't not but like the bloke.
Haskins and Hall should be a decent fight, LH should have to much even tho Hall's a tough kid.

Looking forward to the Casimero Edwards fight the only problem is I'll have to mute the telly because Edwards drives me crackers with those daft amateur style noises he makes when throwing his shots.

SKY giving Kell Brook a lot of bigging up, they're gonna have plenty of viewers watching him get destroyed by GGG.
