Rio 2016: Olympic boxing tournament hit by corruption allegations

[Silkeyjoe]

The judging has been very fair so maybe these stories of corruption have been a blessing in disguise so far.
Britain have lost 6 of 12 fighters already but theres been some really talented fighters so far in Rio.
Too many fighters fighting with their hands by their sides trying to be Naz for my liking but theres been some cracking tear ups already.

They guys that youd expect to be getting the fix have been fighting lesser opposition so far.Lets see what happens when the AZE or UZB fighter takes a Cuban on. Was a pretty poor card yesterday for Asanau v Habbachi

[SlimTrae]

Hope our amateur team can defend themselves if they go out to party.
Judo winner got robbed and whooped the day he won. Eye on full swoll.

Joshua Buatsi looks the goods. Real pro style.

[Fenster]

Wouldn't want a clump off him, two sparko jobs in a row. The geezer he fought in the second bout was clearly related to Wlad.

Phelps!
Phelps! .BTW did ya hear about Phelps?

Excerpt
if we consider today's modern Olympics to be an extension of the ancient games held in Greece, Phelps has now set an ancient record.

Leonidas won 12 titles in the second century B.C. A renowned runner, Leonidas won three events -- the stadion, a sprint; the diaulos, a longer run; the hoplitodromos, a run performed while wearing armor -- in four straight Olympiads. He is believed to have won more Olympic titles than anybody at the ancient Olympic games. .

Phelps passed Leonidas for most Olympic titles (medals or wreaths) with his win Thursday in the 200-meter individual medley.

Hopefully Leonidas enjoyed his 2,000 years on top.
If Phelps does the same. ..it will be around the year 4,100AD to beat an ancient swimming man named "Michael Phelps."

To be fair he was competing against Greeks so his opposition, considering nationality and human growth over time, was probably 4'6" unathletic guys covered in olive oil. I mean look at the Greeks, 3 medals total and 2 of them are in shooting, that takes no athleticism. Got two eyes and nothing worthwhile to do, you can be an Olympian.

Shocking decision in the 91kg final tonight. Tishchenko got battered and somehow took it on all cards. Filthy fix without doubt.

[Gandalf]

I haven't watched a single Olympic event so far. The Olympics by its nature is a very corrupt system where those competing get a few headlines but mostly get very little in the way of reward. Meanwhile areas are cleared of the homeless to build venues that will seldom be used again and officials rake in the money for an event sponsored by despicable corporate interests and is once again way over budget. It's immoral and sick.

Shocking was not the word mate I totally agree with you.

Did you know. Phelps chooses Frosted Flakes over Wheaties?

[Spicoli]

Recent corruption involves the Brazilin beach volleyball team wearing full bodysuits? Lets just be honest here ffs . That's like Santa Claus just handing you new socks.

Buatsi impressive win again scoring two standing eight counts to medal. Considering his style he's gonna be offered some tasty incentives to sign with the top promoters

Mayweathers been at the boxing for the last 2-3 days and is already all over him by all accounts, Floyds out there scouting for new talent and what a fucking talent Joshua Buatsi is proving.
Serious power and a ram rod jab, goes hard to the body and just stood and stuck his chin out last night and allowed himself to stupidly take 2-3 hard shots and didn't even flinch
Really like the look of this kid and he has a massive future depending on which weight he ends up at.
Can he boil down to Super Middle? Doubt it..... Can he bulk up and be effective as a Heavyweight? Hope so but question marks will be raised about his size and Power as the current elite Heavyweights are all huge guys in comparison.
If anyone hasn't caught him yet then have a butchers, explosive and attacking all out fighter and is in the Semi finals Tomorrow night (Tues)
