Just watched the heavyweight final.

Absolutely f**king disgusting. Levitt won every round with ease. I think that was worse than RJJ in Seoul

Jaysus.... I wish he would just (bread)stick to comparing a boxer's style to food accompaniments....

He lost that one, basically got beat up tonight, and he's in the Olympic final.

That was terrible, outlanded by at least 2-1 in every round, beaten start to finish in round 3. Terrible, something really stinks. Is this the worst judging of any Olympics?

This is an interesting result: Croatian super heavyweight Filip Hrgovic knocked out Cuba’s Leinier Pero in round two.

Hrgovic has sparred top heavies including David Haye and done well. I caught him at 10-1. Now 5-1.

Joe Joyce to come

This fella looks like he might just know too much for buatsi

Agreed his amateur pedigree is top level too.

Buatsi has done brilliant though he only started boxing after 2012 when this guy was a world and Olympic silver medallist.

Nothing to be ashamed of.

Indeed

Should probably have had a point off for holding but wouldnt have affected the result.

Supremo · Post by **Supremo** » 16 Aug 2016, 17:47

Looked a bit like he was over reliant upon his big punch. He should have went to the body more and cut down that lads movement. His inexperience was also there to see the way he was getting extremely frustrated by his opponents movement and tricks.
He will have a good pro career though if he's coached well.

Referee did him no favours but fair result. Don't know how Woodall thought Buatsi won the first.

He started out trying to, but the kazak started anticipating it and using the right hook/pivoting off, Buatsi didn't adjust early, towards the end he started hiding the bodyshots behind a couple of headshots but he could only do that with the kazak on the ropes or stationary, which he seldom was. The kazak just shut his offence down with intelligent movement and enough punching, fair play.

Joyce OTOH going well to the body both hands

Cholo_cws · Post by **Cholo_cws** » 16 Aug 2016, 17:56

Get in there Joe!

Counter-puncher · Post by **Counter-puncher** » 16 Aug 2016, 17:57

Fair play I thought Joyce was rubbish last time round but he is beating the kid like a borrowed mule. A mule borrowed from a ginger stepchild.

Supremo · Post by **Supremo** » 16 Aug 2016, 17:59

He is messy and cumbersome but he's clearly is heavy handed and wears folk down.

Agreed mate

The Uzbek kid is pissing crimson all the way back to Tashkent from this
