Boxing at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

Can't we throw boxing out, btw? Every year it's the same: everyone from every country saying all of their athletes were robbed  

 

The one sport that apparently impossible to watch without saying one's countryman/woman was robbed

Durkacz thinking he is coming for MMA, chaotic aggressive punches on random, without any quality shots to the head, ramming with the head. It was a mystery how they gave him round 1 in 3:2 split.

Aidan Walsh is out

Another dramatic loss for  Ireland, as Walsh couldn't keep up with Traore in the final round. The women are going to have to save their Olympics.

That was always going to be the position in fairness.

Aneta Rygielska gets a point deduction 13 seconds(!) before the end but she takes a split decision over Rosie Eccles.

 

scoring judge made the difference! Thanks to Korea

 

Only the second ever win for a Polish female boxer in OG history.

Rosie eccles just suffered the biggest screwjob since Bret Hart, get boxing out of the games or clear up the scoring system because she just batterd the pole

I cannot believe the judges gave the win to Rygielska. I don't usually comment on individual fights because it's all so subjective but that was a travesty. Eccles was on the front foot throughout the fight and in the last round the Pole kept trying to cling onto her opponent and dropped her head so often that she was penalised. The second round was close but I'm convinced Eccles won the other two. A real shocker and no doubt it won't be the last.

Boxing needs to change its scoring system to something  like Taekwondo or Judo to survive.

As I always say, back in Beijing 2008 there was pretty much a fair, easy to understand & transparent scoring system.  So the corrupt hated it & got rid of it.
