Conlon revolution

The dream is over. So overrated it’s not funny. More power in my farts. Great undercard last night but the talk from conlon v frampton is a joke. Leagues apart.
Exactly. He got beaten fair and square. Usually the Irish are the first to clap their hands and show respect to the winner so I'm not quite sure what happened.lillywhite14 wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 14:53 He didn’t even win the Olympic fight he was apparently robbed in ( the reason why anyone mentions his name )
He seemed to have already decided that if he was losing any fight, it had to be a robbery.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 15:03Exactly. He got beaten fair and square.

I thought Nikitin clearly beat Conlan at the Olympics. He landed much more clean shots, Conlan was ineffectively slapping Nikitin all the fight long, while his head was bounced back almost to his butt by Nikitin's punches. All the hype started not because the decision even, but due to Conlan's punkish reaction to it.
Ah now that is bollocks! Conlan clearly won the fight and Nikitin even lost his fight before Conlan (against the Thai I think) and got the nod.lillywhite14 wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 14:53 He didn’t even win the Olympic fight he was apparently robbed in ( the reason why anyone mentions his name )
He didn’t clearly win at all! Even on here, with the domestic bias, I remember it was 50/50 at best. I thought the Russian took it.slapbangwhallop wrote: ↑06 Jul 2018, 13:20Ah now that is bollocks!

Personally I thought he did.TheLeprechaun wrote: ↑05 Jul 2018, 15:03Exactly. He got beaten fair and square.

It’s the ams, power doesn’t get you points and volume does. An 8 count doesn’t benefit the puncher even, it’s stoppage or nothing.jamamb wrote: ↑06 Jul 2018, 20:17 i thought conlan was going to edge a decision but his outburst and the resulting outcry really made it seem a way worse decision then it was. with the conlan fight, i watched after i heard about the outcry, and i kept thinking "so when is the ass kicking going to start?"
basically, loads of ppl totally overlooked everything nikitin did. the russian was landing clean counter shots between conlans flurries all fight and had conlan visibly shaken at one point, more then conlan every rocked him. i felt conlan did land more , but it was mainly pitter patter slappy stuff, while the russian, although usually just landing single shots at a time, was really landing clean with those hooks between conlans flurries. he dramatically snapped conlans head back several times
it was a good compeitttive fight that somehow got wrongly depicted like an awful robbery. an awful robbery is what happened to that kazak who clowned the russian in the cw finals, only to lose unanimously.

Ah right, ta for that. I don’t follow the ams as much as I once did.jamamb wrote: ↑08 Jul 2018, 09:30Noxy wrote: ↑08 Jul 2018, 08:42It’s the ams, power doesn’t get you points and volume does.

olympic scoring changed before rio
lots of stuff on it, theres several criteria and its not just punches landed anymore.
an 8 count could easily fit with something like 'domination of the bout' . and what counts as a 'quality' punch is up for debate too, certainly relevent to tap vs clean and hard
