Boxing at the Olympics '08 *Beijing* Let's talk here! Post videos & pictures!!!

This is just a bad deal for all involved. I'm just glad he is ok. For those interested in his side of the story read this:

It's a lot different than the initial story released by USA Boxing that they "told him to rehydrate" and he didn't. Also, much different than him being found uncounscious by Luis Yanez.

On a related note, I am at the Ringside World Championships and Under-19 Tournament in Kansas City. I have a bunch of vids that I will post tomorrow after the tournament finals start, but here's one great amateur bout between Manny Taylor and Gary Russell III (Allen), the brother of the former Olympic team member. Probably one of the most entertaining amateur bouts that I've seen in a while. Russell speed is incredible and Taylor was very calculated in his strategy throughout.
