News here in the Philippines are saying Albania got robbed. Its a shame not one TV station bought the rights to air the games here.

[mike222]

Without seeing the bouts you can never tell but you would expect a little bias for home boxers not just in China but everywhere.They must be delighted with the Saludar brothers though.

Read that R Saludar might turn pro. Hes only 19-20. Not much news coming in about the games here to be honest. IDK why but none of the TV stations here even bothered to air the games.

Heres a link to a report about Saludar and the rest of the Filipino boxers that went to the Semis. The Indian team is also complaining of questionable scoring when they faced the Chinese.

[mike222]

Mark Barriga is another young boxer I have noted.In the 2009 World Youth championships he lost 4-6 to the Olympic youth champion the highly rated Irish boxer Ryan Burnett but he was conceeding a year to him.Barriga can still compete as a youth in 2011 and looks a fine prospect for the Phillipines.
