    Olympic boxing this year a travesty, I was so excited for it, only to find myself not wanting to watch it at all. I just saw the 75 kg gold medal bout, and it was retarded, the cuban was better, but both should have been disqualified for that crap they were pulling.

    That one ukrainian guy who won looked amazing with the first round 3 knock down win, but besides that I didn't get to see anything else that really grabbed my attention, I didn't get to see ZIming or Alexey however.

    I heard Joe Cortez and Jay Nady were seen leaving the areanas after a very dodgy decision. Their pockets were bulging and they were whisked away by security wrapped in a Chinesse flag. Nady was heard shouting Ho Chi Min is great and Cortez was on the phone to his bank checking if his cheque he got from Floyd Mayweather had cleared!

    I enjoyed a lot of the fights but at times got a it pissed off at the way some of the boxers ran after getting there nose in front.


    Also some of the judges/refs made strange/bad decions.
