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?

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.

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.

Well there goes our best medal shot, it's all up to Andrade now, honestly I hope he shakes his nerves, cause he didn't look like a contender in his opener, gotta feel bad for Warren, he got the toughest draw possible for the round of 32.

There was a terrible mess-up by Warren/his corner.. he was only one point down throughout the the last round yet amazingly spent the last 45-60 seconds keeping out of range, throwing no punches

He clearly thought he was in front.

I'm not sure.

When they took of his gloves he appeared disconsolate and he threw the glove from him in annoyance.

*It is possible they told him he was in front in order to prevent him boxing wildly in the last round and then instructed him to box cobservatively, only to see him defend the lead, before revealing that he had lost!!!

Why would he not throw a punch for 45 secs if he KNEW he was behind though? That is a shocking mistake on the corners behalf, surely?

There were loud chants of USA all the way through. Maybe that confused them into thinking he was in front

I thought he threw the glove off in a "what a fuck up" kind of way.

should he have gotten more points then he was given?

The Olympic scoring is a joke honestly and i wouldn't be surprised if he should have won the fight.

Both Warren AND his opponent were shafted on clean punches landed, all in all it's hard to say who got screwed more. Bottom line Warren can't blame anyone except himself for getting on his bike, whether or not he thought he was ahead, it was close.
