Yes i saw him. He looked ok, but the other guy (Egan) looked real good.

I don't know, I find it to be a bit of a letdown, its just a bunch of spastic slap boxing, a bunch of Derrick Gainers jacked up on Red Bull.

For the most part.

I have found one guy I like. Toureano Johnson of Jamaica. He actually fights like a fighter. Stunning. He will probably get beat by somebody who runs around the ring a lot but I think he could be a pretty good pro.

Pissed of at myself, after spending so much time watching this, wondering if I was ever gonna see an American again I miss the first three and a half rounds of Demetrius Andrade's fight this afternoon.

Has that Molina kid already fought?

And BTW its tough enough to beat the Cubans as it is, the judges don't have to help them out. That Eglesias kid was pretty good but his opponent landed like four or five clean rights in the fourth round and was given 1 point for the whole bout, it was LOL.

Andrade looked a bit sluggish, I thought. Wanted to show off, but didnt really succeed too well. At least he came to fight though.

Molina lost 14-1 yesterday. Not sure if that is the worst ever Olympic campaign for an American boxer (i.e. losing 14-1 in the first round), but if this doesnt secure Molina a place in future trivia-questions someone surely has been way sub-standard.

Well , about ones of our boxers from P.R. Jose Pedraza Gonzalez ( 60KG ) and others from defferents Country won today .................
Pedraza won 10-3 over the Turkya Onur Sipal................

The Olympic reffing has been complete bullshit, if one person wants to tie up its impossible for the other guy to find any rhythym thats what happened to Andrade who likes to throw those combinations, but that Georgia guy was tying him up everytime he threw a punch.
