Re: Olympic Boxing Coverage on Saddo's???

I heard on the news that one of our Batamweights was robbed in the prelims (against a chinesse opponent). I thought it was just sour grapes but i guess it been happening a fair bit?!

Not good.

Hey Jimafee have you tried the bbc website/bbc iplayer?
I've been catching up on all the GB team's fights on there, think they have atleast highlights of the others too, dunno if that helps.

Yeah Joe Murray (John Murrays younger brother) seemed to have a lot of punches not scored and a lot of holding by the chinese guy.

It doesn't really matter that there weren't any Chinese judges. Foreign judges can be influenced to score for the housefighter without any corruption going on - being in the home country, crowd support etc.. we see this in pro boxing all the time.

Very true and the crowd was really into it, he coulda been adjusting his mouthguard and got cheers.
