didn't watch the first round...and actually I was also very much distracted during the second one, but the 3rd round was dominated from start to finish by the Belorussian...

 

if we can call one of the other 2 rounds "tight", the outcome is controversial...

 

The first two rounds were definitely not tight :p 

 

Ok it's not like Dubois totally destroyed her, but she was - quite simply - better.

So, basically you judged the fight on one round, the third which was also the closest, while ignoring the first two rounds which Dubois won pretty comfortably. I would suggest that it is your view that is the controversial one in this instance!

no, I was assuming something wrong for the second round, which I followed very much with half an eye...

 

but the 3rd round (the only one I watched carefully) wasn't close at all...it was totally under control by the Belorussian...

 

those 3 judges that gave it to Dubois are at least biased (if not pure "old style aiba")...

 

p.s. I admit that I'm totally biased when it comes to British amateur fighters, as many of them robbed too many medals in the last 10 years (starting with the second worst scandal ever in Olympic Boxing, the Superheavyweight final in London 2012)...

meanwhile I don't think I'm biased when it comes to former Soviet Union fighters...they are really as awful as they look and only truly corrupted judges gifted them almost all of their medals in history...:pope:

Well, from someone who couldn't care less if GBR or BLR wins: this was a perfectly normal result.

We shall have to agree to disagree. Dubois stood off to some extent in the last round knowing she'd done enough in the first two rounds and I narrowly gave the Belarussian the round as she was going forward and landed a few more punches, although nothing special. The gap in performance was clearly greater in the two earlier rounds. The point is claiming a decision is controversial when it clearly isn't - even the Belarussian knew she'd lost - undermines the case against genuine controversies.

 

As for British amateur boxing I've spent the last ten years frustrated at the bad decisions they've been given in a string of fights, not least London 2012 where Tom Stalker got a shocker against an Indian fighter.

    • 2 things...   first, for what concerns the cooperation between inline skating and speedskating federations...sorry to disppoint some of you, but there's a great cooperation between them   the point is that many "summer" skaters just don't want to try the ice because they have too much to give up for that   you name places like Collalbo or Baselga, but for the "summer skating" guys from centeral and southern regions it's not an option, it's not that they make it for a living with those disciplines, they have to focus on their studies and build a post-competitive sport career and they just can't place themselves into a hole in the mountains when they maybe are studying in some prestigious universities in the big cities   as I already posted more than once, the idea of covering one of those tracks in the mountains was something idiotic, a political concession impossible to be sustained   the one and only chance to build a true legacy and an efficient, attractive national training center was to build a permanent indoor oval in Milan, beside the Forum   that would have given all the "summer skaters" a true opportunity to try the ice experience and at the same time find the most useful, attractive, prestigious places to continue their studies and try and manage them together with their sports career   any other place wouldn't stand a chance   second...don't give Salvini any credit he doesn't deserve...actually, I think he doesn't even know that in Cortina there's a sliding sports track    it's not thanks to him that the Cortina track's building finally went underway 
    • c'mon, guys! relax! sciallatevi un po'!    you're making me sick...it's just the season start and this is a sport where only the world championship (and Olympic, in the specific years) medals count   don't get mad for a couple of races held thousend miles away from home after the team had already passed their first climax (the internal selection)...there are still 2 full seasons before the Olympics
    • Super Round Results   21/11    b.   2-0  b.   9-1   22/11    b.   8-2  b.   9-6   nothing is decided yet, all teams still have a thoretical chance to make the Gold Medal match   Tomorrow, the last day of the Super Round sees  facing the  at Noon local time (4 a.m. CET) and  facing  at 7 p.m. local time (11 a.m. CET)   the medal games are scheduled for Sunday, BMM at Noon local, GMM at 7 p.m. local
    • very poor performance by the US bullpen both Yesterday and Today    not very impressed by this US team for the entire tournament, also in the Mexican first group (Panama deserved to qualify more than them, but they were lucky with the draw and won the decisive direct matchup)   Venezuela confirmed themselves as a very strong team at bat, but with too many troubles on the mound   Today against Japan they had to make a pitching change already in the 1st inning and basically they had to go for a bullpen game, but it didn't come out like the Dodgers'   Japan always on top of their game, even when the pitching staff doesn't perform at best...frankly, they look more and more unbeatable when no MLB superstar is involved (like in this case), but also when it comes down to the top of the pops it's not that they look worse (see 2023 WBC)  there's a serious risk that their domination becomes even too easy, the gap between them and the rest of the world is widening year after year   Taiwan might look like a surprise, but after the 2023 fail, I was sure they were going to rebound and establish themselves among the top teams in the WBSC tournaments, as they are very good in each and every aspect of the game (batting, pitching...maybe a bit less on defense, but you can't have it all)
