I agree with the comments on Conlon but not quite on Joshua's final.

Under the current scoring he would definitely have lost 29-28 to the Italian but on 2012 scoring I think he did enough in round 3 to make up the deficit on the 1st two rounds. Although he definitely lost to the Cuban in his first bout in 2012

I actually meant the first fight! Apologies

c'mon, man! the Joshua scandal in London is second only to Roy Jones' in Seoul 1988 in the history of boxing...

 

and I mean the whole tournament, also the final against Cammarelle, when he should have lost by at least 10 points under the rules of that year...

 

the other bouts were just the prologue of what they did in the last act of the tournament...

 

and I'm not biased at all for what concerns that match, not anymore, at least...

 

it was just the lowest point ever by the "modern" AIBA...

Perhaps, but my perception at the time was that the Italian had done enough over the three rounds to win the gold. It's moot now of course, but I know that is how I felt at the time and I haven't watched the bout since then.

For me Joshua lands 7 or 8 scoring punches in the first 90 seconds of round 3 that wins it for him.

Of course that would mean nothing under the new scoring method.

 

And I can think of some very bad decisions that went against Italians before that. Mussone and Damiani in 1984 for example

has someone watched the Gadzhimagomedov vs Mouhiidine match?

 

I just read the result and a few lines by the OA sport website, but I don't trust them at all when it comes to boxing...I haven't watched the bout, so I don't know what to think about it...:mumble:

Re-watching the fight now

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on  
    • Which I guess is part of why unfortunately 'our' first wild card attempt of the season was rejected last week  
    • The next chapter in the Krasnobaeva saga is upon us.   Looks like  Armenia have cut ties with her after only a few weeks. A person from their Federation has said, that they won't continue the relationship, because of her unprofessional and rude attitude towards the coaches and other officials. That includes: - having no respect to the coaches and their advise; - training without any motivation; - stops doing the routine and throws objects without any reason; - just lays on the floor and ignores the music.   When this was escalated with her mother, she mentioned that "Elvira has a strong temper and she was the same in Bulgaria and they tolerated her". Which of course is complete BS. If anyone attempted this shit here, they would be thrown out immediately.   And now  are wanting from her mother to return all finances they gave them, which she is refusing, so they will probably sue them. They will also inform other RG Federations about this situation, so they don't hire them.   My 2 cents on this is most likely Krasnobaeva was happy in BG and was forced out by her mother, so now she is sabotaging the move and be done with it.
    • Honestly Ruka is my favourite World Cup event of the whole season. Everybody is there. Later on there is always someone who skips one weekend or another . Not everybody takes part in Tour de ski. But here everyone shows up.
