Re: What the fuck are they doing with the Olympic amateurs?
Totally agree Taeth - I have been very unimpressed with what little coverage I have seen. Watched Dimetrius Andrade last night, the American welterweight world champ and he looked bloody awful in barely beating a Georgian bloke who, if the judges had have been counting his pucnches better, probably should have won. I think the scoring is terrible, beautiful punches don't score. Or I've seen a beautiful three punch combination land and score only one point
SBS TV in Australia shows selections of 3 or 4 fights here round 9.30 at night and so far it has been diabolical. The referees don't seem to want to break the fighters. The other night a poor bloke was obviously in a bad way, he was staggering around and then fell. Then he got up and looked terrible, the ref should have called it then but he just let the poor bloke fall hard again and did absolutely nothing to help him - just stood there.
