Boxing at the Summer Olympic Games Paris 2024

[Jinzha 702]

Sadly I am forced to watch boxing on the NOS. The judges gave the first round to  over . This is where I go to call them a corrupt bunch right?

 

Weird sport...

I don't know if it's irony, but that was one of the fairest decisions I've ever seen in a boxing match.

A guaranteed medal for us, but this one was already expected. I'm still hoping for at least 2 more, although it won't be easy.

Yeah irony or sarcasm, your boxer was clearly the best. It still is a ridiculous sport though, happy I don't have to watch it at all the rest of the Games.

Unfortunately I agree, I always had the feeling that status counts more than the fight itself for victory. Even if the D utch was better, the brazilian would still win. The referees evaluate as they want and that's it.

 

Well, that's sad, because I really like the sport itself.

Completely agree, I either hope rules get put into place or it gets removed from the Olympic program entirely. So many athletes are getting robbed from victory because of corruption.  
 

Not complaining about Thibeault’s loss by the way, I just finished watching it on replay, the bout could’ve gone either way and I wouldn’t have been surprised with the outcome.

Heijnen was clearly robbed. Clear and obvious theft!

 Sanford gets  Abdullaev in the quarterfinals of men’s 63.5kg 

 

No medal for him unfortunately 

 

Edit: Jinx works AGAIN!

I wonder if in the past decades 70s -90s was so bad as well
