QUOTE(Mean Mister Mustard @ Aug 9 2008, 08:16 PM) [snapback]399733[/snapback] Ain't that something. I heard that an russel dropped out because of exhaustion trying to make weight. That's really a shame, imagine looking foward to to fighting in the tournament and then BAM! You're out. Yea, that sucks, it also sounds like there's been all kind of other tensions behind the scenes with this team from what I've heard. Also Estrada missed his flight over to China and was about to not go but he said his girlfriend convinced him to go and caught a later flight in and was one of the last fighters to make weight and qualify for the team. |

That Croatian light-heavy looked good. He put that Samoan on queer street like I have never seen before. It was almost like the dude got more fucked up as time went on.

He started to drop the bombs in the 2nd and 3rd round, he hit the Samoan with a very good uppercut in the previous round that stunned him too. The Samoan was on some Trevor Berbick shit there. |

WTF is that Paul Williams shit?! 6'5 is tall for light heavy,but there are alot of 6'8 light heavyweights out here in the Chi around where I train at..Light heavy and up is where all the giants are at for the most part.. |

QUOTE(biggeorge89 @ Aug 9 2008, 02:42 PM) [snapback]399727[/snapback] I get pissed when they dont count..I swear there have been some robbies already IMHO. Like that chinese light heavyweight..he was clearly hit twice in the 2nd round but they didnt score those...and his opponent ended up losing 3-1. Body shots dont count too. Body shots will rarely count in amateurs which really sucks..I think they don't count em cause these fights are so short that the judges think they don't do too much damage which is soooo wrong..They may not build up a cumulative effect on someone but they will still bother most fighters..Also,as far as the scoring,a majority of the judges have to click a clicker at the same time to make a punch count..I really hate this too since I was at the AIBA amateur tournament for guys to get free passes into the olypics this year if they won and ALOT of guys got robbed..You have to be highly skilled to guarantee a lot of wins for yourself in these certain scoring systems.. |

Who saw on the opening ceremony the other night? Arguello carried the Nicaragua flag out for the country.
