Refs don’t give any scores. Judges do.

 

It’s a very hard sport to judge, and generally they do a good job. The majority of people watching on TV have no idea what they’re looking at. It most certainly isn’t random. 
 

10 points for winning a round take all the drama out of most 3rd rounds. That’s the biggest issue. That and a warning being too big of a punishment.

 

Maybe if some countries have the balls to leave the IBA the sport can revert back to point per blow scoring and stop trying to compete with the pro ranks. 
 

99% of “robbery” calls are just sore losers whinging IMO

I don't agree at all

 

in the Olympic Boxing, at least 30% of times (and I'm keeping myself strict) the winner of a bout is the wrong one. and it's not because most people don't know what the judges are looking at when their scores are shaped. 

 

and often, even when the score is correct/at least acceptable, among the 5 judges there's at least 1 that has watched another movie, whithout having those people thrown off the panel for the rest of their life

Kosovo

At least good win for Ukraine! So we will have one "final" for quota on Monday.

 

4:0 on favour of Chernokolenko despite of deduction.

That is your opinion and frankly, it’s nonsense.

well, that was too nice to be true Imagine a slovak female boxer at the Olympics. That would be Just Hilarious. Kinda historic but quite hilarious

 

Congrats

Yep, a slim one in Mixed Race Walk I guess and pretty sure we will grab a quota or two in Table Tennis singles + we already assured of 2 universality places in Swimming
