2008 Olympic Games Beijing 8.8.08-8.24.08 (with spoilers)

I won the first night and then I lost the second night. My ref was a bit jumpy and inexperienced I guess and stopped it when I wasn't hurt. Or stunned. Or anything like that. Oh well, live and learn. I'll be doing PAL next I guess, what about you?

i want to do the pals, but thats too much for me to pay for when i got all my other bills and stuff, but my goal qualifying for the us championships and national golden gloves and winning both

[DCAmateurBoxing]

Get an agent and manager, Kolya.

[DCAmateurBoxing]

The ref can't tell him to fight?! What is that about?

[Kolya]

I need to get more amateur matches, first. Let me at least qualify for USAs and Golden Gloves first. But this was just bad, man. Just freaking awful.

[DCAmateurBoxing]

Told u so.

[CoreyWash]

I'm not eating Chinese food anymorel

i agree..i dont really each much chinese food, but no more..lol

[Kolya]

Man, oh man. That's just bad. I might keep watching just to follow our boys (and I imagine watch them get robbed when they face some Chinese boxer who has less talent in his entire body than our guys have in one of their bodily functions), but this is bad. This isn't the amateur boxing that I love.

Let's try an experiment. . . Ramadan YASSER (EGY) - Abdelhafid BENCHABLA (ALG)

Egypt is closer to China, so I'll go with Yasser.

[Kolya]

And Egypt is in Red, the color of Communist dictators everywhere. I think you're right. On the other hand, Algeria overthrew the French, they may get bonus points for that.

I'm sure they worked it all out before hand anyhow. They know who they want to win.

[CoreyWash]

lol wow this egyptian dude or where ever he's from is horrible..the guy in the red..looks novice lmao..he kinda reminds me of a sam soliman type guy..throw wild/weird punches from wild & weird angles lmao..

[DCAmateurBoxing]

Yasser is terrible. He won his last bout after getting off the canvas three times.

[Kolya]

Oh man, the look on the face of the Algerian corner was priceless. It practically said "you have to knock this guy out! Even though you're up they'll give it to him!"

[Kolya]

Man, the Algerian just tooled this guy. And he still didn't get all the points he was due.

[CoreyWash]

lol the algerian guy had me lol w/ his showboating

[DCAmateurBoxing]

The referee better stay clear!! These guys are going to KO the ref

[DCAmateurBoxing]

lol the algerian guy had me lol w/ his showboating

Oh man, you're ahead of me. Hilarious. Both of these dudes are garbage.

correction..GRADE A GARBAGE! lol

[Kolya]

But Artur Beterbiev is out of the tournament. What a joke.

[CoreyWash]

ummm wasnt negron the guy that beat siju shabazz at the usa vs puerto rico dual? if so he's lookin sloppy right now..he's 6'5 there's no reason he shouldnt be using his jab..

[therealPunchDrunk]

The judges are ruining the Olympic boxing tournament... If they judge like this after the new rules come into effect, I think I'll quit this sport. Not worth the effort... :(

The judges are terrible. Beterbiev won his fight at 81K easy, yet the boxer from China ends up with the win?

This isn't boxing, its cheating.

[emile]

Very discouraging day. :(

[Oscare4]

The scoring in the Cheguir (FRA) vs Mahmudov (UZB) bout was disgraceful!
