I saw a young australian I liked, only 17 but I didmt even catch what weight it was. Might have been heavy. He didnt win the fight I was wayching but looked good for the pros andapparently stopped quite a few. Gonna find out his name now.
This is him http://www.london2012.com/athlete/op...-tapu-1125172/
ı AGREE dıo-------- ı saw a 56 yr old ref who seemed to throw a nıce parryıng block whılst separatıng to clowns fıghtıng at 70kg. he was ın fact more graceful and fluıd thanany boxer ı have been seeıng ın London.Quote:

As for the guys..I saw a good scrap at Light Welter I think it was between the number 1 seeded world champion (Brazilian) and the former World champions (Cuban) - The Brazilian was a heavy favourite but was edged out by the Cuban - That was a good little scrap too.
Otherwise, I agree. I haven't seen much action to interest me. Shame really. I've seen better action in the female classes which I never would have thought.
Is there anywhere online reshowing the fights?
Claressa Shields.
Go on girl!!!
It seem's we are, of the same opinion no one stands out in this Olympic Games, it's a pity as it used to
be a platform to greatness.:)
Yes but were any of them British?:wavey::-XQuote:

Anyway he was the most outstanding fighter I saw.

Also another Aussie I think, Hooper looked to have a good tough pro style.

He wasn't outstanding, but quite good.
