The Olympics Thread, London 2012, Games of the XXX Olympiad, 27th July - 12th August

Yet another absolutely diabolical decision, now on countback Alexis Vestine (not spelt correctly!) from France loses out.

Woodhall "Awful decision, happened to him twice now, robbed on the way to the final at Beijing..."

Evans up for GB now....

 

[Walken]

I've predicted 4 medals for the men so I need one more through, thers just something about the romance that goes with Cuba and amateur boxing isnt there, after Teo Stevenson passing the other month, lets hope they strikea few golds in his honour. speaking of cubans, lomachenko vs lopez could well be the bout of the olympics, cant wait for that one. completely agree with your assesment though, its not that the Cuban was obviously more talented than Selby, but he knew how to win an amateur bout, with selbys experience that was the disappointing thing, but he s a talented kid with a big future who moves on.

I know exactly what's you mean on the Cubans , always been the 'stars' of the Olympics and in our house growing up we'd always cheer them usually against the yanks in those days. That lopez fight is 9 on Friday I think .

Need Evans to perform now and he loves throwing punches so should be good , biased but I want stalker to go through tomorrow .

I am having a laugh at all you Brits breaking your collective cherrys at these Games. Welcome to the world of countries that don't suck at the Olympics.

Dominated that round and good to watch this lad , Traveller isn't he I think ?


Edit - he could even stop him here and that's not easy to do at amateur

 

[Walken]

gud start from evans nice timing, just needs to stay nice an patient here

 

[Phyllis Stein]

5 points up after the first round? Yep 7-2. Could have a count or stoppage here. Shot selection is quality.

Now a 2 point gap, I didnt see how Clayton made up 3 points in that second round.
