I know its just beating a dead horse but Olympic boxing's scoring is just shitty.

Watched that middleweight fight (I think it was middle) between the Cuban Correa and the Australian guy and the Cuban was better and deserved the win but the Australian guy was landing a pretty solid left hook to the body for the first couple of rounds (and landing it pretty obviously) and getting nothing for it. Then the Cuban guy throws one body shot and gets the point. I mean it landed so I guess he deserves it but still.

And with this open scoring there's gonna be a lot of running in the last round or two, especially

The Arroyo twins are from my hometown (Luquillo, P.R.). I hope they do well.

Does anybody know why CNBC felt the need to show the Correa-Australian guy fight in its entirety back to back?

I don't think Estrada's a medal winner type.

Just finished watching Light Heavyweights...

Egypt vs. Belarus... Wow! those are 2 shitty fighters that aren't going anywhere anytime soon. What a horrible style they both had.
It almost looked like they just picked them off the crowd and threw them in the ring to fight...

The U.S. lost to Latvia in beach volleyball

The U.S. lost to Latvia in beach volleyball

Huge upset...
Latvia was seated #25 I think and this is the very 1st Volleyball team the country has had. Amazing!!!

I've never been so pissed of about a beach volleyball game. I'm not even sure I've ever seen one before.

I know our big guy is supposed to be good but he sucked so bad I was wondering if he was throwing the game

I never saw that fight yet, but in the 3 or 4 i saw the scoring was brutal. I think the system is pathetic and should be changed right away.
