Olympic Boxing Coverage on Saddo's???

[Jimanuel Boogustus]

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.

Yeah i found the schedule on the Official Olympic Website but then i had to wonder if the events would even be broadcast live or not.

It dosn't help that i don't have Sky- that alone Sky+

Cheers though..

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.

I thought the Ukraine kid was robbed against the Chinese too.

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.
