Odd replies. I wasn’t suggesting there was any corruption, nor was I suggesting it was surprising

 

I just found it interesting

7 of the 8 Europeans to fight at that weight today have lost. 
 

The only one to win was Walker of  and he only beat  

 

No European has won against another continent at feather.

I saw that too. Asian nations like mentioned are strong in the lower weights, but still we need to have a look the following days, if their "push" or good run continues.

Are they going to give a medal to Mandy Bujold because she was pregnant a million years ago ?

@hckošice Csemez doing great in his match against  . For me he is the favourite against the  in the 1/8 as well.

Seriously I have no idea what the judge was watching here He gave the first 2 rounds to and a tie in the 3rd round

 

Csemez almost send the Trinidad guy to the hospital in the first round. 

 

 

Will be hard though. Boxing is boxing, the name of the country has its price. Armenia has more value than Slovakia. We know the judges not always work properly in this sport like we saw the Colombian judge today

Continental preferences have traditions in boxing refereeing.  Europe judges rule more favorably to European boxers, Asian ones to Asian boxers and so on. You can look a quick breakdown in a few matches with split decisions to find the trend.

Also I do not know if you noticed, the announcer before the match introduced him as Slovenian

Well deserved win for  Castaneda over Petrova. Awful positioning, lapse of concentration, gassed by the end, the usual disappointment by Petrova in the last 3-4 years.

Just get rid of this corrupt sport. So many ridiculous decisions. No transparency.

I think it will be gone or heavily amended so that it can be like Judo and Takewondo and not need judges.
