:UKR Oleksandr Usyk beats :GBR Anthony Joshua on points (117:112, 116:112, 115:113) and becomes new WBO, IBF & WBA heavyweight world champion. Really impressive and well deserved victory.

 

A complete domination by Usyk :bowdown: I thought he had a chance to win, but not so decisively. Third man, after Evander Holyfield and David Haye to win the  Cruiserweight and Heavyweight titles. Could we have another Ukrainian dynasty. :d The guy has done it all.

Yeah, I was fearing a decision shade in favor of Joshua but thankfully it didn't happen. Terrible gameplan from him, he was never going to outbox Usyk, maybe they thought Usyk will run out of gas and be an easy target in the latter rounds but it was Usyk was won the last three in convincing fashion. 8:4 in rounds was the fair split. AJ won rounds 5-6, 8-9 and even if you gave him the 4th it was never good enough.

@phelps I kinda know Italians still didn't forget about that OG final where Cammarelle should have won? :p

yeah, but that's not the only reason...

 

I've never liked Joshua as a fighter, even before London 2012 and I think he's way overestimated and he achieved all of his success (amateur & pro) only because of the rich and powerful organization behind him and not because he's a big talent nor an example of will and determination...

 

on the other hand, I've always been a fan of those Ukranian fighters who had well deserved success first among the amateurs and then among the pros (Lomachenko, Dereviyanchenko, the Klitschko's and many more, now Usyk)...

The idea that the judging at Olympic boxing is rigged will come as no surprise to anyone, but it would be a major shock if anyone on the IOC were willing to do very much about it. Especially to the extent of re-awarding medals....

I imagine they would need actual proof - such as people being prosecuted for it. And even then I could see them promoting people but not stripping anyone unless they could prove the boxer themselves was involved in the fixing.  Dual champions anyone ?

More details on the story from yesterday. Long way to go before redicisions are made, if ever.
 

 

Investigators fear eleven boxing bouts at the Rio Olympic Games were fixed by officials, including GB boxer Joe Joyce's controversial defeat against France's Tony Yoka in a gold medal fight.

If they didn’t award a gold to Roy Jones Jr., the victim of perhaps the most egregious robbery in the history of the Olympics, then I wouldn’t hold my breath.

if they think the superheavyweights final and Conlan's bout were fixed, I'd like to know what they think of all the Tishchenko's fights, especially those in the first round against Clemente Russo and the gold medal match against Levit? (which most likely is the third or fourth worst robbery in the history of Olympic boxing)...:rolleyes:

    • It may also be that Ceccerelli saw that the conditions in the Italian youth teams were very poor and that is why she insisted on setting up her own team (the results of young Italian skiers unfortunately confirm this). A private team will always be better than a team with 10-12 skiers with max. 3-4 coaches, a one doctor and a physiotherapist. Colturi is the only skier in her team and she has several coaches, a masseur, a doctor etc. Of course, it costs money, but since the parents are famous and have money + Red Bull got involved. I don't understand why she can't start for Italy again? Red Bull should care more that Colturi starts in Cortina under the Italian flag than the Albanian one + Red Bull, as a brand, always has a bigger sales market in Italy with a population of 60 million than in small Albania. I hope that this can still be reversed by next year. For this we need talks between the federation + Colturi's parents + Red Bull + possibly the Italian Olympic Committee. Colturi may be a skier equal to Brignone or even better in the future. We can't lose her, so we have to do now!
    • I`m very disappointed with this weekend. Only becouse of Ghiotto form I`m happy. Unfortunately, the women's team will not function well if Lollobrigida skips most of the training camps and Fontana starts alternately in short tack and long track. It will end with her not winning any medals here or there, because it`s already clear that it will be very difficult to achieve good results in long track. I hope that she understands this, because in short track she has a real chance of winning medals in the women's relay and the mixed relay but in long track not.
    • Tragic performance of the Italian women's team - last place and probably something bad happened at the start. There are so few starts in the team that it will be a problem to even qualify for the World Championships - 8 best teams. After Lollobrigida's return and Fontana's addition, I was counting on much more, but it seems that there are too few joint trainings. With individual quality, we have no right to lose to the Czechs without Sablikova, or anonymous Korea. And unfortunately this start will count for a lot, because there are only 2 more and our chances of playing at the World Championships are minimal. In my opinion with Fontana going from Short Track to Long Trackand vice versa, we won't be much use in the team. Here great teamwork is needed, not improvisation. As of today, there is very little chance that we will qualify the women's team for the games.
    • men advanced to Division A for the first time since 2018 (when they went 1-8). Don't expect much progress next year
    • Ok, but there we are talking about a person who has parents from different countries. Colturi has nothing to do with Albania.
    • There are few people here from Austria, Switzerland, Norway and Finland.
    • The worst editions in XXI century for us were Vancouver: 5 medals (only 1 gold for Razzoli's on the penultimate day) and Sochi: 8 medals (but no gold). Turin was already a prelude to this bad period, although the number of gold medals was ok. Overall we won fewer medals at home than in 2002 and this was probably the only case in the 21st century when the host country won fewer medals at home than 4 years earlier, either in summer or winter. In general the years 2008-2016 were very bad in our sport, both in summer and winter. Only 2018 in Korea was a slight rebuild + 2 fantastic summer editions in Tokyo and Paris. in Beijing 2022 we won a lot of medals - 17 but only 2 gold (If it weren't for Gogga's injury, I think it would have been 4 gold).
