Great fight by Verdejo, Loma was struggling to get the win. Very impressive showing by the PR boxers.

In 2004 Britain only qualified one boxer Amir Khan.We changed our whole structure with Performance Directors,Elite and Development squads,proper funding and support staff.In 2012 we qualified 10,it can be done. Uhmm... You are aware that the British boxers didn't need to qualify, right? I agree tha...

Cubans won't be competing, since they don't have the funds... :( Was looking forward to seeing my friend's son win gold at 63kg...

Take a look at the Russian Federation and all the camps and competitions their boxers attend. That is the #1 team in the world and we could learn a lot from them Russia's program is 100% supported by the government. We are the only country in boxing that is NOT supported by the government . Russia'...

Come on Big Ed, you were referring to your kid. You said: "i believe its goin to be a tough road for my kid?", so of course you were! Geez...

Darren Sutherland RIP :(

Sounds Like there trying to take over pro boxing. My question would be want dose the Boxer get Paid? (For those who get picked) if they intend to have fighters wearing headgear, there is NO CHANCE this thing will EVER rival pro boxing or provide any serious competition to the pro game!! :roll: They...

Awesome DC, thanks!!

Nice to see such a good spread of nationalities winning gold medals this year. :)

The report about Cammarelle's bout says it was a left jab. He is a southpaw so my guess is that he threw a left cross. That is his money punch as it is the same punch he KO'd the Cuban with in the Italy vs Cuba dual this year. Cammarelle obviously has some power. You can see that a lot of the oppon...

It's going to be a rematch of the Olympics 91+ kg match between Cammarelle of Italy and Zhang of China in the finals of the worlds. Cammarelle won 1-0. Must of been an exciting match to watch :roll: We'll see how much Zhang's training in the US paid off since it looks like he is going pro with the ...

It seems completely ridiculous to me, to start something like this, and leave out half the weight divisions... leaving out the fighters from 60-69kg??? Bat shit crazy, if you ask me.

Gomez looked skilled to me, he had a lot of authority in the ring last night.

He's staying amateur, going for 2012.

Yes, and thank you! Now if he can only find a way to beat Culcay (who he's lost to thrice, last time by a mere 11-9), he's in the medals!

What did I say ... Look out for Torben Keller.. He beat Oscar Molina today and he is off to the quarterfinals where he will fight the German Jack Culcay-Keth.. This is the moment of truth! Come on Torben! Show your guts and make each and everyone in the entire arena feel the IPPO SPIRIT! Speaking o...

Go back and read my posts. The only boxer that I thought won clearly and didn't get the decision was Magdaleno. Caferro - I though he should have been given more points and maybe he would have won as it would have affected the course of the bout. I am pro USA but I am not that biased to think all o...

Not too bad.

Of course you do.

Geez, what's that supposed to mean? Did you even see the fight? Every time an American fighter has lost, Dennis thinks they got screwed, so maybe you should direct that comment towards him...

I disagree wholeheartedly.

Magdaleno is tough. He beat '07 world champ Rau'shee Warren in the semi finals of the US Championships on a count back. The bout could have gone either way but Warren was not busy enough.

Tough, but not smart enough! 8)

I'll be rooting for Makarov!

I realize the Americans haven't caught on to the amateur rules and scoring yet, what I don't understand is why they don't try to adapt? Good question. It is a big country and very hard to get all of the coaches on the same page. You could walk into a big gym like Gleasons in New York City and find ...

And Camarelle was clearly a cut above Hunter, anything else is wishful thinking.
