Re: Only 1 medal for the US
At least the USA had a team. Unlike us with our one man team. :(
Re: Only 1 medal for the US
People aren't being fair to the american team, way too much emphasis was put on these games, especially since the scoring, refing was horrible, and how the fights were ref'ed took away from the US's physical advantages.
Just look at the worlds if you think they weren't good. Its been how much of a piece of crap the olympic boxing has been, not the quality of american boxing.

Hey at least we don't spend endless amounts of money into sports only to get our asses handed to us by the chinese. This olympics marks the end of American dominance in any sense. Then we will see how good you guys do with all the "adoration" the rest of the world has for the states.

Taeth...WE don't pour money into sports, American COMPANIES spend money on sports.
America feels no "adoration"...why??? because America tries to be the good guy and why doesn't Russia or China feel the heat that the USA does??? Because they never try to be the good guy and therefore no one says "China/Russia please help us" but oh the fucking Earth would STAND STILL if the US didn't help somebody.....GO FUCK YOURSELF.
Re: Only 1 medal for the US
the best american athletes are not going into boxing.

lol, I was joking, chill out. On a more serious note, America imposes its will on every country in the world, and thats why its disliked. Also if you see what United States has done in central america for the past century you would know that AMerica a huge hypocrit in many, many ways. THen there are the rich assholes who misrepresent americans around the world. Regardless America is represented by the elite class of the country, that doens't anything in reality, but the head of the States is retarded and thus it has not bode well for international reputation.

ALso what the fuck are you talking about China or Russia haven't felt the heat United States does? Look at the bad press Russia has gotten over the cold war, etc, etc. Half the world still thinks they are communists bend on world destruction.
HAve you seen the news lately, have you read into the Tibet thing at all? China gets plenty of bad press and its all well deserved.
Re: Only 1 medal for the US
After watching that fight Friday.I just stopped watching Olympic boxing due to that fight.Deontay Wilder did wait too long but the punches that were scored for the Italian were insane.The first point that landed didn't the second didn't.I seen three jabs right on the chin from Wilder not get scored when I watched the rest of the fight and the Italian was getting ridiculous points for nothing. All and all at the end of the day I had a 6 to 6 tie. We do need a complete overhaul of olympic boxing this sport is the worst sport in the olympics. I mean my god people I enjoyed table tennis honest to god TABLE TENNIS people more than olympic boxing.They have taken this pure sport and made it into a 1 punch grab sport equivalent to wrestling. I maybe over reacting but I will not be interested in the USA team in London.
